Bassment is a music community formed in 2016 by DJ Katana in New-Zealand. It’s focused on music events for local Soundcloud producers and underground music lovers. Now the community has launched successful events and parties across New Zealand, contributed content regarding upcoming New Zealand musical talent, and also published merchandise.

This T-shirt is a direct reference to trap music and was designed by DJ Katana. From Bassment:

Arguably the most important year for trap music, 2012 saw the release of genre-defining tracks from newcomers such as Flosstradamus, UZ, Baauer, and RL Grime. Trap music released during this time can be characterized as relatively minimalist as well as 808 and sample-focused, pulling influences from Southern hip-hop music. The origins of trap with experimenting bedroom producers led to the inclusion of flippant samples such as “This is a certified hood classic,” “Run the track,” and “Damn son, where’d you find this?” indicating a playful self-aware culture.
