Karl Kani is a staple clothing brand of the 90's. While they're not as prominent these days as they once were, it seems to be inching towards a major comeback. Over the past few weeks, they've been teasing their forthcoming collection which is expected to launch on September 30th. Now, Nas reveals that he's teamed up with the company for a collaborative collection.

Nas and Karl Kani are set to release their forthcoming collaborative collection in a little over a month. The rapper took to Instagram to reveal his clothing line HSTRY and Karl Kani will be dropping their collaboration on September 30th. The collection will be titled, "Escobar Season" and will have one jacket and two shirts which takes heavy influence from 90's streetwear. The line will be available on both brands websites as well as at Urban Outfitters. 

This is far from the first time Nas worked with Karl Kani. The rapper modeled for Karl Kani back in 1996. Karl Kani actually shared some behind the scenes footage from shoot earlier this year. Aside from Nas, Karl Kani's had some other major rappers model for the brand such as 2Pac, Biggie as well as Pete Rock & CL Smooth. In recent times, Dave East, A$AP Rocky, Jhene Aiko and other younger rappers have been seen in clothing brand's campaigns or simply rocking it on their own.
