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.
