Christopher George Latore Wallace, most commonly known as the notorious B.I.G, was an American rapper and considered by many as the best rapper of all time.

Deferring from his stage name the notorious B.I.G called himself “the black frank white” based on a character portrayed in the movie ‘king of New York’, a drug dealer who went from broke and rough to rich and classy. Or “from ashy to classy”

Seeing similarities between his own lifestyle and the character, the rapper renamed himself “the black frank white” and crowned himself the king of New York, a title that was also inspired by the movie.

The colour white being a representation of new beginnings, symbolised the new start and lifestyle the notorious B.I.G had, making the name and colour a perfect combination to represent the rapper and his life.

The frank white beanie based on notorious B.I.G’s nickname comes in an ageless fisherman style, with the choice of two Onelabel leather logos that are offered with all season two collection beanies. The hat also comes with a choice of two vintage buttons, the first being a white rounded centre with a gold spiral detail around the edge, and the second a circular multi-coloured button. The option of having no button included is also available for those who prefer a more simplistic look.

This colour also has a second version in the form of a plain knit style, offering all of the same qualities and is due to launch over the coming weeks.

Keeping up with Onelabel’s key features, every purchase is shipped with a free transparent beanie bag and trademark Onelabel beanie box, along with this all of our products are made in the UK and finished in London using 100% lambs wool for a high quality finish.
