Another blast from the past has made its way to DrJays.com. TROOP, a popular 80’s clothing brand, has been revived by rapper Nelly. Created in the Bronx, New York in 1986, TROOP was one of the first brands to be adopted by the hip-hop community.

Consisting of both apparel and footwear, the brand was popularized in the mainstream by pioneering rap acts like LL Cool J.
