It's been almost 6 years since XXXTENTACION was tragically murdered but the rapper's influence hasn't faded. Many contemporary musicians still cite him as both an influence and for some even a close friend. Last year Spotify released some statistics about the most streamed rap songs on their platform and X was well represented. His 2018 album ? is the single most listened-to rap album on the entire platform.
Another place where he's remained influential is within the world of fashion. During his life, he founded the Revenge brand after his 2016 song of the same name. While the brand was a hit right away it became astronomically more popular following the rapper's tragic death. And the brand remains popular to this day as they just dropped a new collection in celebration of what would have been the rapper's 26th birthday. Unsurprisingly, the collection sold out almost immediately. Consequently, every single piece listed on the brand's website are now sold out in all sizes. But in addition to the new pieces, fans couldn't help but love the way they were promoted. Check out the photoshoot for the new line of clothes below.
