With this latest release, TSMOKE APPAREL pays tribute to MF DOOM, the enigmatic rapper known for his intricate lyricism, masked persona, and underground influence. The tribute drop features exclusive tees and hoodies crafted with premium materials, blending artistic textures, smoke motifs, and Doom’s signature mask to capture his mysterious, larger-than-life presence. The collection reflects both the artist’s deep appreciation for MF DOOM’s legacy and the broader connection between hip-hop and graffiti culture.
“MF DOOM was more than just an MC—he was a whole vibe, a movement,” said TSMOKE, founder of TSMOKE APPAREL. “His masked persona, raw lyricism, and underground influence made him a legend, especially for those of us in hip-hop and graffiti culture. Doom’s music had that gritty, unfiltered energy that resonated with street artists and creatives. His storytelling, his wordplay, the way he flipped samples—it was all next level. Paying tribute to him felt natural because his influence runs deep in both hip-hop and street art.”
For this release, TSMOKE took a deliberate artistic approach to honor MF DOOM’s legacy. “His mask is iconic, so that had to be front and center, but I also wanted to bring in elements of smoke, abstract textures, and raw street energy—things that reflect his mysterious, underground aura. I played with shadows and highlights to give it that gritty, almost comic-book feel, since Doom himself was like a supervillain of hip-hop. It’s all about keeping his presence alive in a way that speaks to the culture.”
MF DOOM’s influence on street artists extends far beyond his music. His anonymity, independence, and rebellion against mainstream conventions mirror the ethos of graffiti artists worldwide. “Doom embodied everything that street art represents—mystery, independence, rebellion, and pure artistry. He didn’t follow industry rules; he created his own lane, and that’s what real artists respect. His mask was a statement—like graffiti, it was about anonymity and letting the art speak for itself,” added TSMOKE.
As part of its commitment to community engagement, TSMOKE APPAREL continues to foster connections between artists, fans, and fashion enthusiasts. The brand invites supporters to take photos near TSMOKE’s street art and share them on Instagram for a chance to win free apparel, further strengthening the relationship between street culture and wearable art.
The TSMOKE APPAREL MF DOOM Tribute Drop is available exclusively on the brand’s official website at www.tsmokeapparel.com for a limited time.
