All it took was one bite…

Aight true believers— ya’ll know by now that LB22s provides you with the greatest and freshest comics vs. hip-hop mash-ups in the known and unknown universe, but sometime we like to throw ya’ll a curveball. 

The following piece we found on the internets and was cooked-up by Fabio Valle ( http://www.fabvalle.com ). It ain’t street, but you know for sure that MC Trickster would be sampling this for one of his mixtapes.

Stay tuned for some more work coming up. While you wait, peep LB22s cofounder Julian Lytle’s comic Ants: http://ants.julianlytle.com/

LB22s — Sean

  Listen to Sound Weezy.

Rhianna vs. Metroid — another masterpiece mash-up from the infamous Jesse Vital. Oh snap!— lemme find out that’s RiRi straight blastin’ Breezy… mad attention to detail! Throw Vital some love by hitting-up his site: http://v1tal.com/

This is from my friend Kenny Keil. He actually was the first to start mashing up Hip Hop and Comics. I didn’t really know when starting this tumblr. But we’re cool. We know each other. On the same comic message board and everything. So if you think that Longboxes on 22s is a couple of biters or whatever it ain’t like that. This is just people who love comics and Hip Hop and want to mix our loves together. So go and check out Kenny’s site, buy his comic and read his blog.

Some of you might’ve seen it cause it got leaked a bit early. Just like the real music biz huh? Thought this would be good since First Class was No. 1 this past weekend.
