Off Safety is set to bring its touring photography show to Kinfolk 94 in Brooklyn, NY. The show will put on a grand display of vintage hip-hop images captured by renowned photographers, Eddie Otchere and Paul Chan.

Otchere’s portfolio is comprised of intimate portraits spotlighting Aaliyah, Notorious BIG, Outkast, Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang, and more. On the other hand, Chan has accrued throwback snaps of Lil Wayne, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes to name a few. Collectively, the show aims to immerse viewers in the ’90s and ’00s scene with its distinct fashion styles and trends.

Accompanying the show is exclusive merchandise by Off Safety and Kinfolk. Select images from Otchere and Chan will be printed on vintage Polo Sport wares alongside staple brands. “As Hip-Hop further builds on its past glory, new generations are now looking back and drawing style and inspiration from the trends made popular by these icons, further cementing the bond between music and fashion through photography,” said Off Safety in a statement.

Check out the editorial above and expect the art show to launch on March 1 at Kinfolk 94.
