(Photos) So Dope! Kinship Bomber Jackets Pay Tribute To Dip Set, Bad Boy, 90s ‘Golden Era’ Of Hip-Hop
While at work at Hot 97 a few weeks back, Jim Jones and his boy Reggie stopped by, and I couldn’t help but notice the SICK Dip Set bomber jacket that Ebro was wearing while interviewing the Capo. Turns out it’s from Reggie’s Kinship brand, and there are a few other super dope bombers in the line as well! In celebration of Bad Boy‘s 20th anniversary, Kinship dropped the “Bad Boy Bomber” this week, featuring an all-over print of all of the label’s greatest albums, from the Biggie and Ma$e era, to modern day with the likes of French Montana and Janelle Monae. The Diplomats “Dipped” bomber features classic Dip Set covers from the mixtapes to official albums, like Diplomats Vol. 2, Purple Haze, Diplomatic Immunity, From Me To You and more. The last jacket pays homage to the “Golden Era” of hip-hop, featuring 50 classic albums of the 90s, including Nas‘ Illmatic, Snoop‘s Doggy Style and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. A little birdie told me there’s a new one on the way as well, just for those 90s girls that grew up on Mariah, Janet, Aaliyah, etc.! The jackets are all 100% satin with a satin lining (purple for Bad Boy, red for Dip Set, black for the Golden Era) and a full zipper front. Take a closer look at them in the gallery and head to Kinship’s site to cop!
