Big thank you to Harlem, New York's own fashion icon Dapper Dan for coming on my show for an interview! Dapper Dan discussed his life story, reading John Scarne books to master gambling, and turning his life around when he went to jail at a young age. He discussed studying at the Countee Cullen Library, his experience at Columbia University, and finding himself spiritually during his trips to Africa. He got into writing for 40 Acres and A Mule, warning about the gentrification coming to Harlem, and opening up Dapper Dan's Boutique in 1982. He then spoke about the Hip-Hop artists that he styled including: LLCoolJ, Eric B. & Rakim, & Boogie Down Productions, the infamous Mike Tyson Mitch Green fight that took place in his shop that would eventually get his store shut down, and having to go underground. Dapper Dan also got into designing Salma Hayek's dress for the Oscars, his Gucci partnership, and when jerseys became a huge part of the Hip-Hop culture. Dap announced that he has another book that he is writing on the way as well as his movie on his life story through Sony Pictures. Stay tuned!
