Not merch — artifacts. Original 1996 Bay Area G-Funk from the G-Note Records era, with a paper trail to a #1 Billboard soundtrack. Each piece authenticated and signed by the man who made it. Once they're gone, they're gone.
In 1996, out of San Francisco, G-Note Records put out two records that captured a moment: Tha Dangla's Straight Max'n and The Fast One's Down 4 Tha Cause. The art was painted by phunky phat graph-x — the same hand behind Master P, E-40, and C-BO.
The Fast One's record "Game Tight" landed on Master P's #1 I'm Bout It soundtrack. Straight Max'n was Tha Dangla's first and only album. These aren't reproductions or repops — they're the originals, straight from the source.
Hand-signed by Edward "The Fast One" Smith — founder, executive producer, the man on the credit.
Every piece ships with a signed, numbered COA. You're not buying a guess — you're buying provenance.
Deadstock, out-of-print, one-era-only. When the count hits zero, there is no reprint.
High-ticket pieces are "or best offer" — serious collectors, reach out.
The original 1996 label point-of-purchase poster featuring both The Fast One's Down 4 Tha Cause and Tha Dangla's Straight Max'n — with the real City Hall Records distribution lines. A piece of Bay Area rap retail history that simply does not exist twice.
