Raekwon on the Snow Beach Re-Release: "They Shoulda Called Me, I Feel Insulted"

Raekwon is a style icon. Since he broke onto the hip-hop scene in the early '90s, New Yorkers and people around the globe have embraced and tried to copy his rugged style of dress that consisted of Polo Ralph Lauren, Timberland boots, and New Balance sneakers. And he’s still doing it to this day.

At a recent private New Balance event, Raekwon performed in the basement of a SoHo lounge to celebrate both the brand bringing back the 574 and his 48th birthday.

Raekwon, Action Bronson & Just Blaze Among Those Featured In Polo Ralph Lauren Book

Raekwon, Action Bronson and Just Blaze are among some of those from the Hip Hop community featured in an upcoming book that documents the subculture of Polo Ralph Lauren.

The 264-page book, titled Bury Me With the Lo On and created by Lo Life founder/rapper Thirstin Howl the 3rd and New York-based photographer Tom Gould, looks at the Brooklyn-based Lo Life crew and its influence on the worlds of Rap and fashion.

“For the past five years Lo Life founder Thirstin Howl the 3rd and photographer Tom Gould have been documenting this culture,” the book’s website reads. “Interviews, archival pictures, and recent portraits of key players make up the first-ever book recounting how a group of kids in Brooklyn went on to influence mainstream rap stars and birth a movement of boosters and collectors of Polo worldwide.”

The book, which is priced at $65, is set for release on July 7 and can be purchased here.
