WU TANG WU WEAR
Before Kanye West started Yeezy, before A$AP Rocky designed his collections for
Guess and even before P Diddy’s Sean John’ range, the Wu-Tang Clan was one of the
first in Hip Hop to venture into their own fashion business. WU WEAR was created
and their logo is still to this day a staple wardrobe piece for every generation.
Rihanna recently posed in her long sleeve Wu Tang tee which was clearly inspired by
the 90s trend and so now making it a fashion piece. Wu Tang are touring this year
across the USA and a few select UK dates too.

BEASTIE BOYS:HELLO NASTY IS 20
Hello Nasty hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went triple platinum, was classified
as an alternative album by the Grammy Awards. However, it still fused plenty of Hip
Hop into its metal DNA, with the addition of world-class DJ Mix Master Mike greatly
benefiting the record. Hello Nasty won for Best Alternative Music Album and for
Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group with “Intergalactic” at the 41st Grammy
Awards.
Earlier this week, Mike D made it a promise to his fans that he has written a
memoir which will tell the truth and about their amazing career. From their early
rise to fame to recent events – we will hear about it all. For the Beastie Boys,
the 80’s was a time for amazing music and film which heavily influenced their
sound. Since they considered themselves both a Hip-Hop and Rock-n-Roll group, they
attribute their sounds to many different entities.
