The Hundreds x The Seventh Letter: RIME Video
Two of Los Angeles’s biggest street entities partner to present a collaborative capsule this month. The Hundreds x The Seventh Letter have already dropped videos previewing collaborations with the likes of graffiti artists Saber and Revok, and this latest previews their upcoming work with Rime. Now based in Los Angeles, the founder of global graffiti project The Exchange works closely with The Seventh Letter Crew on art-based murals and gallery shows in the city.
