Dapper Dan is a staple in hip-hop history.

If you are not familiar with the man, chances are you’ve at least seen his work. From the covers of albums like Eric B & Rakim’s Paid In Full to most of the wardrobe from the Paid In Full movie, Dan has made clothing for everyone from the early stages of hip-hop.
