Introducing: The Conductor’s Cut
Black Molue is built at the intersection of memory and mischief. With this drop, we reimagine what happens when we translate the imported pop culture cues and secondhand symbolisms we grew up on into our own dialect. We use a blend of nostalgia, humor, and cultural commentary to make these references familiar, digestible, and truly ours. The result is “Conductor's Cut”, a mix of conversation-starting clothes, wall art, and collectible objects that turn irony into identity.

ASO ROCKERS
It’s not just a famous hunk of granite sitting in the middle of the world’s third most populous country, it is also the seat of the power and politicking. The Aso Rockers reimagines past Nigerian presidents as an Afrobeat band, blending satire, vintage album art, and political commentary to question what happens when governance starts to look like performance. All the best lies. All the worst hits. Special thanks to the silence of the masses that served as production on this one. All songs were written, stolen, arranged, and performed by the band themselves. We only pressed “record”.
SUPER LAGOS BROS
Lagos has always felt like a game you can’t pause. Super Lagos Bros takes that chaos and turns it into familiar art. The print features a real Lagos city map reimagined in nostalgic 8-bit style, complete with landmarks from Third Mainland to Lekki, Ikeja to Banana Island. It’s a playful nod to retro gaming and the daily hustle that somehow feels like a level you never quite finish. Designed for Lagosians who live the madness and anyone who’s ever tried to survive the city’s real-life obstacle course, this is perfect as a gift for anyone who loves both the city and classic video games. We just mapped it out. You’ve been the one playing it all along.
ZOBO
At first glance, Zobo looks like a classic drink ad, familiar, maybe even refreshing. But look closer and it’s all parody. The design flips the iconic beer label aesthetic into a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Nigerian slang, where “zobo” doesn’t just mean hibiscus tea, it means sweet talk, half-truths, and smooth deception. This piece blends cultural commentary and street philosophy into visual satire, packaging a local metaphor for modern performance and persuasion. From its crimson hue to its “Vibes 80%, Ginger 20%, Facts 0%” label, Zobo® is proof that even the most ordinary drink can tell an extraordinary story, especially when it’s brewed with irony.
THE NIGERIAN TIMES
A parody of the press, a portrait of the people, and proof that sometimes the biggest puzzles are the ones we’re living in. The Nigerian Times riffs on the biggest crossword maker in the world, reimagined through the Nigerian lens. The print uses the same stark black-and-white grid on the back, taking the pulse of the nation and folding it neatly into a game of identity featuring the faces, places and history that make up the Nigerian experience. Some answers are revealed, others are left blank, inviting you to finish the story yourself, with friends, strangers, or anyone who knows the vibe. It’s both puzzle and portrait, a snapshot of who we are and what we’re still figuring out.
THIRD MAINLAND DRIFT
We can’t shoot a film yet, so we made this instead. Set in a dystopian Lagos where Island’s been taken by a fire-breathing dragon, Third Mainland Drift tells the story of a high-speed escape across the last standing bridge and the only three renegades crazy enough to make the run. Through a blend of Lagos folklore, anime and vintage action-poster aesthetics, 3MB tells the story of an unbothered driver and his two gun-happy conductors on the most important commute of their lives. Grab your copy: NOW, NOW, NOW.
DIRTY DECEMBER DUMMIES
December in Nigeria stopped being a month a long time ago. It's now a full-blown cultural Olympics. Detty December for DumDums flips the classic self-help guide into a crash course on surviving Lagos when the city decides to party like the economy isn’t real. It’s your unofficial manual for traffic you can't explain, events you can't afford, and choices you can't take back.
GOODY GOODY TWO SHOES
She never left the playground. Inspired by the classic chewy caramel bar that left a few milk teeth behind, Ms Goody Goody is a nostalgic nod to break time, extra pocket money, and the sweet chaos of growing up. The wrapper, the sugar rush, the way it stuck to your teeth, all of it lives here, printed into a cropped silhouette made for women who remember, but never stayed stuck. We only made a hundred of these, and just like the original Goody Goody, once it’s gone, it’s not coming back.
