Supreme x Barrington Levy & Jah Life

 

 Another week has gone by and another Thursday Supreme drop is on it's way, this time linking up with iconic reggae artists Barrington Levy and Hyman "Jah Life" Wright on a capsule release. 

 The project focuses around the emerging dancehall reggae sound of the late 1970's/early 1980's, and the coming together of the New York and Jamaican scene thanks to pioneering producer Hyman “Jah Life” Wright and a renowned young vocalist named Barrington Levy. This period in time and that particular partnership would go on to propel reggae and dancehall on to the global stage, transcending way beyond its previously exclusive Jamaican audience, breaking down barriers along the way. 

 The collection itself references iconic imagery from the era, drawing inspiration from notable albums such as "Bounty Hunter", "Englishman" and "Robin Hood”, and applying original artwork from the partnership's works across tees, tank tops and pull-over hoodies, which are available in various seasonal colour options. 

The Supreme x Barrington Levy & Jah Life will be dropping at Supreme's London, New York, Los Angeles & Paris locations, as well as online, on June 16th.
