“When designing the capsule for the J. Dilla Pistons partnership, our aim was to honor Dilla's essence,” Royce said. “Our interpretation of the iconic Donuts album cover was pivotal to the collection, as the album holds significant historical importance within Hip-Hop circles.”
The six pieces: a t-shirt, two hats and three hoodies each pay homage to J. Dilla, his work and his non-traditional style including re imagined looks to his classic album cover Donuts, a nod to the Detroit Stars hat he proudly wore, a unique design which includes two of his favorite instruments, the Minimog Voyager Synthesizer and Akai MPC3000 MIDI.
