Amsterdam-based streetwear label Patta works in collaboration with Brooklyn rapper Jeru the Damaja on a new special-edition capsule collection. Diving into the rapper's catalog, the streetwear imprint designs a series of graphic tees that includes a full-color print of the Sun Rises in the East from 1994, marking the rapper's first project.
It can be seen on the front and the back of the tee. Also found on the shirt is the Patta script logo - this is then followed by a graphic tee that has the title of the rapper's Ain't the Devil Happy track. It's marked on the front and the back showcases a cartoon look of Jeru the Damaja before it is rounded out by branding details.
