The Gorillaz 'The Now Now' Blue T-Shirt

One of Kid Cudi's favorite activities is vintage shopping. Over the course of Kid Cudi's career as a globally acclaimed musician, he has used his extensive travels to explore local vintage stores around the world, often finding buried treasures, curating an exceptional collection of rare and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, each with its own story and character. Many of the pieces, including this lot, pay tribute to artists who have inspired Kid Cudi and influenced his journey as a musician.

This official The Now Now blue T-shirt from 2018, purchased from Metropolis Vintage in New York, features an illustration of 2-D, the animated frontman of Gorillaz, playing guitar in a striking two-tone design. Gorillaz, founded by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, revolutionized the music industry by blending virtual animation with real-world musicianship, pioneering the concept of a "virtual band." The Now Now marked a return by the band to a more stripped-down sound following the Humanz album.
