Raised By Latinos (RBL), the urban clothing brand, recently introduced its We Are Hip-Hop line in association with the podcast Great American Hip-Hop Debate (GAHHD), to honor the Latino legends of hip-hop music.

Founded by Evelyn López and Víctor Henry Ramírez, RBL's  'We Are Hip-Hop’ pays tribute to the many Latino artists who helped start hip-hop and contributed to its evolution and constant change.

“Raised By Latinos and The GAHHD podcast present a collaboration dedicated to the unheralded originators and creators of this Culture that birthed us all. From its inception in the Bronx, til now they have been there to help shape and grow what would eventually change the world. And, as it grew, Latinos grew. We were not only Raised by Latinos, but also Raised by Hip Hop. We are Hip Hop and Hip Hop is us. So it is with great reverence that we salute all of the contributors past, present, and future. May we all continue to blaze trails and leave our marks in this thing of ours. Dedicated to Hip Hop,” wrote RBL.

A special collection

The We are Hip-Hop line is set to release a first-generation long-sleeve edition this Winter, with many more to follow thereafter. All proceeds from the campaign will be donated to the Puerto Rico Comedores Sociales Foundation.
