Rap and underground culture share a deep-rooted history, evolving to where today's rappers are bona fide fashion experts who proudly showcase their personal style.

Trendsetters hooked on luxury labels, rappers command front-row seats at Haute Couture shows while staying true to their street roots. Gone are the days of "Mia" à la papa! True to the adage that you're never better served than by yourself, most now launch their own brands.
