The Sons of Ol' Dirty Bastard, Big Pun, and Jam Master Jay Appear in Moss' Latest Lookbook

 
Hip-hop and fashion have always gone hand-in-hand, and Queens-based Moss Clothing celebrates the union in its Fall 2014 lookbook. Shot by the legendary Ricky Powell, who rose to fame as Def Jam's unofficial photographer in the late 80's and early 90's, the Sons of Greatness lookbook features the children of three hip-hop legends who the world lost too soon. 


Young Dirty Bastard (son of Ol’ Dirty Bastard), TJ Mizell (son of Jam Master Jay) and Chris Rivers (son of Big Pun) were photographed by Powell in various locations around the Big Apple. The overall aesthetic is gritty, nostalgic, unmistakably New York, and unmistakably hip-hop. The clothing itself is vibrant and colorful, featuring Aztec and paisley-inspired patterns. There's even a playful all-over chicken drumstick print.



In a recent preview on the Moss blog, founder Shahed Serajuddin ​explained the concept of the lookbook further: "Time and people come to pass, but their influence lives on. When the opportunity recently came about to pay tribute by pairing Ricky, street culture's most iconic photographer, with the children of his subjects of years past. It was a deeply meaningful challenge that I knew I had to take on."

Big Pun's Widow Claims Fat Joe Screwed Her Royalties

Fat Joe is an immoral cheat who betrayed his protege, Big Pun ... so claims Big Pun's widow who claims Joe has left her out in the cold since her husband's death.


Liza Rios is beside herself ... she says in a new lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- hubby Big Pun had a deal with Fat Joe to split the fortune Pun made from songs like "I'm Not A Player."

Liza says a few years after her 700-pound husband died from a heart attack in 2000 ... Joe turned off the spigot and she hasn't gotten a penny since 2005 ... even though the records continued to sell.

It's especially maddening for Liza, because Fat Joe released posthumous albums years after Big Pun died.

She wants more than a million bucks.

BTW ... Fat Joe is skinny now.

Ferris Bueller - NO DAYz OFF

Biography :
In a world where biting and sounding like someone else is prevalent, emerges two emcees with the ability to stand out in an industry oversaturated with copy cats. Influenced by the greats such as Andre 3000, Pimp C, Too Short, etc., they have combined their individual sounds to form one unique collaboration known as Ferris Bueller. Similar to a modern day “UGK”, the tales from the streets of Atlan...ta differs from your normal everyday rapper’s tale since the average rapper haven’t lived the life that he raps about. Although filled with hard times and heartache, the music is more of a relief. Ferris Bueller explores the fun side of the street life while also letting you know the dangers that await you. 

The new mixtape “No Dayz Off” helps you get into the mindset of Ferris Bueller. Here are two highly accoladed emcees bringing their gritty styles together to paint images of success from struggle onto canvases of oversaturated redundancy. With songs like “Splash” talking about getting duped out your money because you don’t understand the lingo of the streets. Another song “Trickin Off” is just telling the story of a man taking his hard earned money and spending it on what ever he wants, not necessarily spending it all on women. The lead single “Shooters” is expressing how everyone is in six degrees of separation and you may know someone but hey, I just may know the same person.

 Ferris Bueller may just be what HIP HOP needs to survive in a world where records are no longer being sold. The world needs superstars and with the oversaturation of our industy a “Star” may be hard to come by, but Ferris Bueller jus may be what this galaxy is looking for
