WACKO MARIA has released a new rapper-inspired apparel collection of the legendary rapper Tupac. The apparel collection also comes in celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Tupac Shakur was one of the most influential rappers of all time and sold 75 million records worldwide. He was also an activist whose rap songs entail contemporary social issues in urban cities and inequality.
The collection contains several iconic images of Tupac printed over the apparel. The collection consists of button-up shirts in different color schemes. An image that was used in the collection displays Tupac pointing two middle fingers to the camera while wearing a gold cross-chain, and this image was used on a black button-up shirt. Another image used in the collection is Tupac sitting down while looking up in a pose with his gold cross-chain on him in a white button-up shirt that says "Tupac" in the center. The collection is available for purchase.
