Hey, I'm doing some research into the Kangol brand. Does anyone know who the first rapper was to wear a Kangol hat? Also, was there any particular reason why artists in the late 70s and 80s chose to wear Kangol? Thanks!!

LL Cool J is the most notable/well known rapper to be associated with the Kangol Hat. However, Kangol Kid of UTFO fame wore the hat previously as he would wear the Kangol berets in the shows he was in. The kangaroo hat was insanely popular as Americans loved it. The brand at the time used different animals as their logo such as turtles and horses. They eventually used the trademark kangaroo silhouette and have used it ever since. Represents the combo of English sophistication and the urban attitude of Hip Hop. A beautiful result indeed. If you want more info. Check here: history.hiphop/kangol-hats/ |

RIP to the pioneer, Kangol Kid. May you rest in beats.
