Mostly misunderstood by the mainstream at the time and misrepresented was Tupac who innovated at such a young age. A creative inventor that united people through music and film. He stood a pillar of resistance to the status quo by being outspoken on social issues that the world still struggles with today. He was perceived as a public enemy to some extent due to his association with “Gangsta Rap” and his promotion of “Thug Life.” Pac 2.0 is the default standard visual representation for the Crypto Life.

This piece portrays the likeness of a true American Gangster. Lucky Luciano is considered the father of modern organized crime in the United States, more specifically known for splitting the New York City Mafia into The Five Families and for establishing The Commission, which is the governing body of the American Mafia. A relic example of a rebel against the establishment who was hated while he innovated.

Che’ is a counter cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in pop culture. Naturally his likeness is perfect for the Crypto Life. He is where the “Live the Revolution” or better known as “Viva La Revolucion” slogan comes from in the first place. Who better to honor than the man, the “guerrilla” himself?

The Rubel Rebel also known as Crypto Putin stands proud sporting his Judo Gi. There gets no more “Thug Life” than Mr. Putin he has always been about that life. You know “The Crypto Life”.

Ol’ Dirty Bastard is a hometown and folk hero to me and many others out there. He was never afraid to stand out and be himself. He did not conform to the status quo and he did it his way. He remained “Dirty” and thats why I honor him here in the Crypto Life Collection.
