Fans of true hip hop can relive the memories provoked by a legendary Detroit MC with the new Stussy J Dilla t-shirts.
Set to release February 8, 2013, the Stussy J Dilla shirts are commemorative pieces designed specifically to honor the late great rapper and producer. The t-shirts feature Stussy’s now well-known World Tour design adapted to fit J Dilla’s sensibilities. Instead of featuring city names as regular Stussy World Tour t-shirts do, this version features the names of J Dilla’s six albums.
J Dilla is well known among the hip hop community as a pioneer in developing new sounds in production. He’s also considered a formidable MC. Unfortunately, J Dilla died in 2006 at the young age of 32.
