From Purple Tape to Global Icons
September 19, 2024

Our Purple Tape T-Shirt celebrated the legacy of Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" album, a hip-hop masterpiece that symbolizes authenticity and grit. The iconic cassette is cemented as a cultural artifact, and with that shirt, we captured the essence of 90s hip-hop that inspired our brand ethos: Fly Is What Fly Does
But we’re not a brand that stands still.
The Julio Iglesias T-Shirt takes that phrase to the next level. On this shirt, we merge two seemingly different worlds: the smooth sounds of Latin music icon Julio Iglesias and the mafioso rhymes of Rae and Ghost. It’s a cultural collision that speaks to the diversity of influence that shapes the streets of New York City and FKONYC.
The shirt boldly features Julio Iglesias in his prime, set against the legendary Wu-Tang members. With vibrant purple and neon green set against a black canvas, the design visually fuses the elegance of Julio’s world with the rawness of Rae and Ghost’s legacy. The shirt’s tagline, “Makin’ C.R.E.A.M. Like That,” pays homage to Raekwon’s iconic track Criminology, which set the tone for the Purple Tape. Making this album an icon that stands on its own just like Julio Iglesias.
If you’ve been vibing with us since the “Purple Tape T-Shirt”, this new drop is a continuation of our journey—one that stays true to the streets while expanding the narrative of what fashion and streetwear can be. Our Julio Iglesias T-Shirt is not just a conversation starter; it’s a movement in itself
