Chapter 33: DMS
Release Date:
Summer 2008
DMS is more than a crew, more than a squad, more than a group of brothers united by shared experience and culture. While it is all of those things, it is more. DMS is equally a mentality, it’s about being down-for-life with one another, and it’s about the deep values of honor, respect, friendship and pride that inform the daily habits, decisions and overall points of view of its increasingly diverse worldwide membership. Most of all, it’s a true family in every sense of the word.
Chapter 33 - DMS What began deep in the belly of New York City as a group of multi-ethnic friends from the worlds of hardcore and hip-hop under the banner of Doc Martin Stomp or Doc Martin Skins has grown to encompass areas on the map from New York City to L.A., to Europe, Japan and South America. The DMS family was born in the streets and is bringing each other up further everyday.
With fallen brothers along the way watching over them from above—Boston Mike, OO, 2 Hip, Sob, Chino and Yas, among others— the DMS squad stands tall over twenty years later. The rep, the respect, the blood, the sweat and the stark street honesty have stood the test of time, growing stronger each and every day, as members of DMS infiltrate the system in 2008 and beyond, infusing the decaying mainstream with real values and belief.
