Music and art have always been associated, and these collaborations make so much sense. DJ’s and urban DJ culture has great respect for the urban comic book style that is Marvel or Transformers . Well, this is natural, especially seeing as the cultures spawned from the same time, in the same city, in the same country. DJ and turntable pioneer Afrika Bambaataa created a historic record cover when he teamed up with the Soul Sonic Force to release ’Renegades of Funk.’ The record cover was designed by Bob Camp from Marvel Comics. This went on to inspire a trend of DJ’s dressing up as super heroes. The rapper MF Doom frequently talks about Marvel Comic characters in his lyrics. The mainstream rapper Method Man also has an alias John Blaze, which is the name of Ghost Rider. The DMC winning DJ team The X-Cutioners were originally called The X-Men because of their love of the comic. From the team, the DJ Roc Raider shocked the DJ world when he introduced body tricks while scratching at the DMC’s. He wore a Marvel X-Men t-shirt for the occasion.
