Rap Kings GOONBOX Gold Edition by Chris B. Murray Drops July 13 at Noon EST

Tenacious Toys is pumped to announce their next exclusive toy drop: the Rap Kings GOONBOX Gold Edition 7-inch vinyl art toy designed by Chris B. Murray and produced with care by Clutter Studios.

This is the first vinyl art toy by Philly artist Chris B. Murray who is best known for his illustrations and prints.

Chris grew up studying hip hop culture, which has driven his design sensibility as well as his work as a professional artist. His ongoing Rap Kings illustrated series highlights the groups he grew up listening to as well as current day artists. It started as a poster series, extended into other merch, and then ultimately lead him to create the series first vinyl toy, GOONBOX!

The concept for the GOONBOX character is an intentionally vague mashup born out of the hip hop era – a gritty street character that incorporates pieces of some of Chris’ favorite rappers, groups and various elements of hip hop culture. Many references can be found all over this figure: the camo pants, the bees, the pigeons, the backpack, the manhole cover, the flower. The boombox? Well, maybe GOONBOX loves hip hop so much that he or she was born with a boombox for a head?

The Tenacious exclusive Gold Edition GOONBOXES are limited to just 50 pieces and priced at $149.99. They will drop on the Clutter page at TenaciousToys.com at noon EST on Tuesday July 13th.

There will be a limit of 1 GOONBOX per customer on drop day. Be ready to pay in full at the time of your order – the use of a payment plan for this item is not recommended as the checkout process takes longer.

About Chris B. Murray:

Chris B. Murray is a fine artist / commercial illustrator living and working out of Philadelphia, PA (originally from upstate NY). From an early age, Chris immersed himself in everything that dealt with pop culture. His most favorite being hip-hop and everything surrounding the culture including graffiti art, sneaker hoarding / streetwear fashion and most importantly, the attitude. Every aspect of it was so very inspiring to Chris. He even goes as far to say that hip hop and the culture revolving it played a major role in raising him through his formative years. Those very same influences are deeply rooted in the work he is still making today from the vast array of color usage and character treatment, the inventive narratives to the meticulous compositions and concepts. Chris has disciplined in using a variety of media on various surfaces to create his imagery. Any project / collaboration that allows for him to bellow his artistic voice for everyone to hear (see)…he welcomes the challenge.
