Description
Chest 23 in. Length 28 in. Tag Says: Hanes, 100% Cotton This shirt is a rare find that celebrates one of the most influential groups of hip hop's golden era, Run DMC. This shirt comes from a deadstock collection belonging to one of Run DMC's bodyguards, who accompanied them on tour & collected a number of one-of-a-kind keepsake t-shirts. This bright red tee is a souvenir from Run DMC's Tougher Than Leather Tour, which was launched in 1988 to promote their album of the same name. This particular shirt commemorates a show in the band's hometown of New York City, & during the tour, the group performed with other legendary hip hop acts including EPMD, Public Enemy, & DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Tougher Than Leather served as the group's follow up album to their breakout classic Raising Hell, & although it reached Platinum status, some fans felt disappointed by the record. This is perhaps only a sign of how iconic Raising Hell was as an album, that their follow up was doomed to pale in comparison. Tougher Than Leather still breached the top ten of the Billboard 200, & contained three charting singles "Run's House", "Mary Mary", & "I'm Not Going Out Like That". The record has since gained more acclaim & is now considered to be a seminal classic that expertly exemplifies the merits of hip hop during the golden era.
