Description

Distributed in 2020 to mark the quiet but seismic launch of pgLang, this special edition pgLang Times was printed in partnership with the Los Angeles Times and limited to just 5,000 copies. Featuring Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free, and Baby Keem, the paper introduced pgLang as a “service company” built around storytelling, language, and creative freedom. Quotes from all three artists run alongside full-bleed photos, subway shots, and surreal, open-ended captions like “Selfless. Reset.” This wasn’t marketing—it was manifesto. Pulled from DJ Skee’s archive, the copy reflects a moment when Kendrick shifted from artist to architect, signaling the next era in West Coast creative independence. Extremely rare.


Disclaimer:

This item features a Silver OVD, and has been directly received from the personal collection of Scott "DJ Skee" Keeney, and validated by TRuEST™ Authentication.

A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
