It has always been about uplifting the community for Jamil, and about creating awareness and presenting Hip Hop culture in a completely different light to what was being shown in the media. Hip Hop brought joy and life to so many people when it first started and still does this part was unfortunately hidden by mainstream media for a while.

The Dope Hip Hop shop offers more than physical and digital products, It’s a legacy to continue and a celebration of the culture that Jamil has been a vital co-creator in and that continues to inspire millions of fans around the world.

All products are 100% recyclable and have been created using classic analogue methods. 

For the first T-shirt of the series, Jamil teamed up with Nigerian-American artist Emeka Alams from Gold Coast Trading Co. The design features a mix between New York boldness and hints from the motherland mixed with BTS notes and technical details for the analogue photo nerds. Keeping it local all products have been hand screen printed in Jamil’s hometown Copenhagen. 

Using sustainable methods played a crucial part in the production process resulting in the best outcome, a product that is as authentic and conscious as the images Jamil captures.
