    It was a hype day at the @break_thyself #supertigh It was a hype day at the @break_thyself #supertightcircle BBoy event. Not only was Akepele present with a successful mini pop-up… I got to meet and rap with the BBoy legend @urbanactionfigure (Ivan). I remember watching him and K-Mel go round for round at the @bboysummitofficial in 1999 at UCLA. I’ve been a fan since. I should have brought out his VHS “demo reel” to sign… lol Good times!!! -Renzo #supertightcircle #breakthyself #bboybattle #bboyivan #bboyivanurbanactionfigure #djblesone #one8kevin #akepeleapparel #akarenzo #stepspdx
    I’ve been focusing on updating the website and m I’ve been focusing on updating the website and making this a focal point for the brand. With that came the long overdue Affiliate page (akepele.com/affiliates). This page is dedicated to showcasing the relationships forged with some very important entities that continue to help push the culture forward. They have also supported Akepele Apparel from the beginning, which says so much. The #klyphnotes podcast with @djklyph. The dopest record label @liquidbeat founded by @matt_nelkin. Both of these very inspiring individuals, unknowingly, keep me pushing forward with their entrepreneurial hustle. They are worth the follow. -Renzo #klyphnotespodcast #djklyph #akepeleapparel #liquidbeatrecords #liquidbeatradio #liquidbeat

    Dopeness from the @liquidbeat family. Incredibly Dopeness from the @liquidbeat family. Incredibly excited to announce that Libretto & Vitamin D's Rusty Bladez album is out now! Link in bio. Available: -Digital & Streaming -Vinyl (pre-order expected late fall) -Cassette (with alternative King Tee inspired album art) Album Info: Libretto returns for his sixth full length album entitled Rusty Bladez, and is accompanied by Seattle legend Vitamin D handling all production duties, plus a few standout verses of his own. As evidenced by his inmate ID on the cover, Libretto's meditations on his time spent in the Federal Penitentiary system run throughout the entirety of Rusty Bladez. Libretto recounts in vivid detail the experiences and lifestyle that led him there, and his experiences and mind state once released. Vitamin D's production mastery provides the perfect backdrop for Libretto to recount his true life tales. Showcasing his versatile skills across all 17 tracks, Vitamin D once again demonstrates why he is your favorite producer's favorite producer, as well as a force of his own on the mic. Helping round out the complete picture, Libretto & Vitamin D are joined on the album by top notch lyricists and vocalists including Roc Marciano, Guilty Simpson, Gift of Gab [R.I.P], Planet Asia, Keisha Plum, Jumbo (Lifesavas), Toni Hill, Syndel, and more! Rusty Bladez is the product of two West Coast veterans, made in true collaborative fashion, with their talents and expertise on full display.

    Where would anyone or anything be without a solid Where would anyone or anything be without a solid foundation to build on? The worlds youngest sub-culture, hip hop, has just that with 4 primary elements of foundation: Rhythm, Motion, Voice, Name!!! More commonly known as DJ, BBoy/BGirl, Emcee, and Graffiti artist. These elements of foundation were once thought to be a fad, but here we are approaching 50 years of influential people, style, culture. I’m grateful to be part of such greatness!!! This graphic tee illustrates the strength of this foundation and belief in the culture that it created. Wear this with pride!!! -Renzo #thefoundation #thefoundationofhiphop #hiphopelements #bboy #bgirl #dj #deejay #artist #graffitiartist #emcee #akepeleapparel #akepelestreetwear #hiphopstreetwear

    In 3rd & 4th grade I’d swap out fat lace colors In 3rd & 4th grade I’d swap out fat lace colors daily on my kicks to match an outfit, it felt like I had a different pair of shoes each day. I went back to those days and hooked up this pair of @adidasoriginals Shell Toes (Superstar) with checkerboard fat laces for the @akepeleapparel Fall Pop-Up last year! This was to for a hip hop elements display to tie in with a series of tees I designed for the culture. This was a dope event and the store looked super fresh. I can’t wait for the next one. Stay tuned. #akepeleapparel #akepelestreetwear #hiphopelemets #hiphopculture #hiphopfashion #retrofashion #adidasoriginal #adidadsuperstar #streetwearfashion #embodytheculture #movewothit #streetwearwithrhythm #akepelepopup
