“On the 14th anniversary of the death of the person some recall as the “greatest rapper of all time” we wanted to do something really special, so we met up with DJ Clark Kent who was The Notorious B.I.G’s DJ and longtime friend from Brooklyn. In this clip Clark talks about what it was like working with Biggie to put together the Junior M.A.F.I.A. album, going with him on his first shows and trying to convince him that an up and coming rapper named Jay-Z was worth a listen.”

DJ Clark Kent presents a ‘112′ version of the Nike Trainer SC 2010. Done in the elephant, 3M reflective, volt and black colorway seen across all of DJCK’s 112 releases, the sneaker is definitely one of the strongest SC 2010s yet. No word on a release.
