DEEJAE, The Highest Authority, Sean Boyles. We are currently accepting
independent clothing lines from interested folks all throughout the
country.
Raj Jaydev, one of the founders and the coordinator of
Silicon Valley Debug said, “Debug has always been about supporting
local culture in whatever way it could, be it the magazine or the
website or just coming through to local events to support folks we
consider family. Launching this store, under the leadership and savvy
of someone like Megabusive is taking it another level.”
Megabusive,whose been helping to blaze a path for the San Jose underground scene
for sometime supported this thought, “I’m still making dope music, but
this is whole different aspect of Hip Hop that we get to contribute
to. What’s great about it is that we get to contribute not just to
local and regional Hip Hop, but we can to contribute to what’s going
down all over. This is an exciting time.”
HHC will be developing an online component that will be launched within
the next month in conjunction with the store in San Jose. In addition
to all of this, there are several other services available in the
Debug facility including T-shirt design and printing, graphic design
for posters, flyers and CD covers and marketing and promotional
support in the South Bay. If you are interested in selling your
merchandise online at hiphopcongress.com, and at the store, please
