For this special first issue dedicated to party flyers, the spotlight is on a long-overlooked figure: Buddy Esquire. Known as the King of Flyers, he was one of those unsung heroes who played a crucial role in shaping the early days of Hip Hop culture.
Far more than just announcements for weekend jams, these flyers were bold visual statements — setting the tone, teasing the vibe, and building anticipation long before the first beat dropped. They were the graphic frontlines of a movement still in the making.
But their role went beyond promotion. These pieces of paper are now visual archives — silent witnesses to a scene that changed everything. Through his prolific and unmistakable work, Buddy Esquire not only defined an aesthetic; he preserved a history. Even after his passing, his legacy endures, inked into the very story of Hip Hop.
