Here’s a little insight into one of Akepele’s
collaboration pieces. This design was
done by the infamous Brian “Tazroc”
Garcia specifically for Akepele Apparel

I’ve always respected his hustle and have been
a fan of his work since we met so I was
honored to do this collaboration.

In recent time, @tazroc has been overseas
leaving his stamp on some very notable
projects including contributing a section
on the Guiness Book Of World Records
Longest Mural!!! Pretty Dope right?

These tees are available now on Akepele.com

I’ve been collecting more hip hop memorabilia recently and really dig these trading cards from back in the early 90s. Here are a some of my favorites that I pulled before I had them for sale at the @akepeleapparel pop-ups last year.

These artists are a great representation of my youth, these were my teachers of music and samples. I loved the songs they sampled long before I knew they were samples.

Quality over quantity!

This is me looking to see if you need an Akepele Flannel. You do, I see you… I don’t want you heading into winter unprepared and looking rough, Ya Dig?

This flannel is a classic look with some subtle branding and flavor. It’s a must have piece for your fall/winter wear.

I’ve re-upped the inventory but they don’t last long, so cop one while you can.

I just finished this book, The Tanning Of America.

I just finished this book, The Tanning Of America. Such an incredible book with so many takeaways.

Though the book is over a decade old, the lessons, experiences, and insights are still relevant and ever so valuable in todays climate. For us entrepreneurs who strive to keep up with the rapidly changing marketing & branding rules, this book provokes the importance of thinking outside the box.

The biggest takeaway is how much hip hop has evolved and helped change the landscape of everything we know from fashion to entertainment to advertising to marketing to course literature, and the list goes on. Tanning is real and it’s not going anywhere, so embrace it and enjoy the ride, it’s a culture.

Thank you Steve Stout for your contributions to the culture and for sharing your journey. This was a great read.

-Renzo
