Queue Points hosts DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray drop the needle on the artists who didn’t just make hits, they made fashion history. Starting with hip-hop’s scrappy, innovative origins in New York, the duo explores how rappers turned limited resources into unforgettable looks, and how that style evolved from block to stage to runway.

The picks are personal and cultural:

Slick Rick’s Windrush-inspired elegance and gleaming opulence
Foxy Brown’s off-the-rack-made-high-fashion era
Lil’ Kim’s era-defining fashion moments
Lauryn Hill’s timeless, covered-yet-commanding sophistication
Queen Latifah’s regal consistency
Digable Planets’ bohemian-militant cool
Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) as the global-vintage dandy who expanded the rapper silhouette
Heavy D’s big-and-fly blueprint that changed representation for a generation

Honorable mentions go to Kool Moe Dee’s leather-and-shades era and Missy Elliott’s visionary, purpose-built style. Plus, the hosts share their first fashion buys (Flavor Flav-inspired stopwatch and a bootleg Nike sweatshirt) and talk Dapper Dan, Wallabees, 54-11s (Reebok Freestyles), and the commerce of hip-hop chic.

Who’s on your list of flyest rappers? Drop your picks in the comments and keep the convo going.
