ADG's first Metalabel release, a zine called "Tatted" about female '90s R&B stars and their tattoos, is one of our all-time favorite finds

This new release looks to be no less remarkable

This Zine Is Asking You to Reframe How You Think About Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable This zine challenges the celebration of Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable as the founder of Chicago by looking at how narratives about him obscure the balances of power in his time. For anyone interested in reading about Chicago history, Haitian-American identity, Black-Native solidarity, and public memory.
