DON’T SLEEP: Defy DC x PIK x Buctayla “The Original Lensanity (MD To Boston)” (prod. by Buctayla) [SINGLE]
Buctayla (“This Maschine Kills Wack Sh*t” & the upcoming “Scott Pilgrim Beat Tape Vol. 1”) crafts a beat dedicated to the player that many consider one of the best to ever play in the ACC (He used to dominate Michael Jordan) @ Maryland. He was the size of a power forward with a guard’s speed, handles and court vision. He had a shot out to the three point line and he was unselfish with the basketball. Had he lived long enough to meet Larry Bird @ Logan Airport after being picked # 2 in the 1986 NBA Draft and don #30 for Boston, the history books might’ve had to be rewritten. RIP Len Bias, the ORIGINAL Lensanity.
Washington D.C. based clothing company decided to honor his legacy by crafting a clothing line based around the great Len Bias called “The Original Lensanity” commemorating him being drafted by the World Champion Boston Celtics back in 1986 and his tragic passing. If you want to peruse Defy DC’s “The Original Lensanity” lookbook or the regular Defy DC site store then feel free and expect more surprises from PIK in promotion of “The Original Lensanity” line.
