October 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Hat Club, a renowned purveyor of specialty headwear and accessory merchandise, has unveiled an exciting and exclusive partnership with the iconic streetwear brand STAPLE. This groundbreaking collaboration, the first of its kind between the two brands, will introduce limited-edition collections that pay homage to STAPLE’s legendary influence on the fashion industry. It will also celebrate the vibrant streetwear community both in New York and nationwide.

Underpinned by the motto “A Positive Social Contagion,” STAPLE has always embraced the concept of community and authentic connections. Hat Club shares these values, and this collaboration between the two brands represents a unique and harmonious blend of their respective strengths.

Jeff Staple, the visionary behind STAPLE, stated, “Whether it’s New York City, the Hat Club & STAPLE community, or baseball fans; one of the best parts about this collection is how gracefully it blends design elements from all of these cultures together. We pride ourselves on creating designs that are driven by purpose and make a statement, providing something unique for everyone.”

The collaboration will unfold in three exclusive drops during October and November, paying tribute to STAPLE and the streetwear community throughout the Fall season, both online and at physical locations:

Drop 1: Birds of a Feather Pack: This collection honors STAPLE’s iconic Pigeon, a symbol of the enduring energy of New Yorkers. It features designs showcasing notable birds in the sports community, including MLB teams such as the Baltimore Orioles, St. Louis Cardinals, and Toronto Blue Jays, as well as MiLB’s Springfield Cardinals. Additionally, a custom-made STAPLE Pigeon swinging bird logo is part of the collection, weaving in design elements from STAPLE’s iconic sneaker releases.

NoHo: Inspired by the bonds formed during Hat Club drop campouts and Jeff Staple’s Sneaker Riots, this exclusive line celebrates the community with two New York-exclusive styles, representing the Mets and the Yankees.

Black Friday: A new logo, the “Swinging Pigeon,” will be introduced, taking inspiration from iconic swinging bird logos in baseball. This fitted hat will be exclusive to staplepigeon.com.

Austin LaBoda, Director of Marketing at Hat Club, expressed his excitement about this collaboration, stating, “It’s hard to imagine another brand that has done more for streetwear culture than STAPLE, so teaming up with Jeff and his team for this drop is truly a moment that will go down in history for Hat Club and the entire Hat Club community. This collaboration puts a unique Hat Club spin on STAPLE’s cherished Pigeon by highlighting some of the most beloved birds across baseball and celebrates Jeff’s contribution to streetwear culture by incorporating design elements from some of his iconic and riot-inducing sneaker releases. Our New York exclusive drop is our way of saying thanks to the buyers, sellers, retailers, designers, and fans of Hat Club with inspired takes on iconic New York team logos.”

Pretty In Pink: Fashion Trends That Honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and many of our favorite fashion brands are supporting the cause. While many are familiar with the pink ribbon symbol, many brands are supporting Breast Cancer Awareness this month by donating proceeds from sales to various organizations like Susan G. Komen, and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. These organizations help fund research, treat patients, spread awareness, and offer other various forms of support for this important cause. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second most common cancer overall. However, Black women are 42% more likely to die from the disease than their white counterparts,

Coincidently, the current trend this season recommends fashionistas add a dash of pink in their wardrobe. From soft pastels to vibrant pinks, this trend allows you to celebrate femininity in your own unique way.

The highlight of this new collection, which drops today, includes “The Masters” Print, an archival pigment print featuring imagery of the official “The Chronic” master tapes side A and B, photographed by Jeremy Deputat.

Hands down one of my most memorable times in hip hop, Dr. Dre’s debut solo album, “The Chronic,” is considered one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time. It marked the beginning of a new era in the genre, introducing its distinctive G-funk sound and groundbreaking production techniques. The album showcases Dre’s skills as a producer, with his signature use of the Moog synthesizer and his ability to blend old-school funk with new-school rap. As a teenage girl I was mesmerized with the entire project and played the record nonstop.

“The Chronic” also served as a launching pad for future stars including Snoop Dogg and Warren G, and it
cemented Dre’s status as one of the most influential producers in hip hop history. The album’s social
commentary on the state of gang violence and police brutality in Los Angeles at the time also highlighted
Dre’s commitment to using his music to address serious issues in his community. Last June, Rolling Stoneplaced The Chronic on its 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time List, noting the album “redefined the West Coast Hip Hop sound.”

For fans of this iconic album, the prints included in the Chronic Masters Collection are all 24” x 24″. The
individual prints, photographed by Jeremy Deputat, are priced at $150 USD. Each one made with archival
pigment on 290gsm Moab Entrada bright white fine art paper, featuring chop-marked, numbered, and
hand-embossed Chronic leaf detailing. A certificate of authenticity is included with each premium print

Interscope Records conceptualized “The Chronic Masters”with Trophy, the creative agency that
