STUSSY x YO! MTV RAPS x THE FRESHEST


We are so excited to be a part of this release!  Come by Stussy Vancouver and cop the T's while we play your fav throwback jams. 

Please read these words from Stussy and check out the amazing documentary! 

On August 6, 1988 Yo! MTV Raps debuted on MTV and changed the world. It’s hard to imagine, but back then Rap music was not what it is today. It was an underground genre of music that challenged what was going in popular music at the time. Yo! MTV Raps transmitted the culture of Rap to millions of homes at a time when there were only a handful of local outlets to see a rap video. The style, the trends, the language of Rap began to influence popular culture and by the time the show left the air in 1995, the genre was no longer the best kept secret. Rap music has grown to being the biggest and most popular genre of music today, and a lot of this is due to Yo! MTV Raps.
For the Stüssy X Yo! MTV Raps collection, we have selected 10 seminal artists from Yo! MTV Raps’ time on air for a series of t-shirts and fleece pieces available now at Stussy.com US, Stussy.com EU and at all Stüssy Chapter Stores.
