One of the most iconic French rappers collective, MAFIA K’1 FRY, announces a great and beautiful news: the release of the famous K1FRY leather jackets !

The legendary collective commented : « The Mafia K1 Fry leather, a unique piece from the 90’s/2000’s was originally reserved for members of the collective.  If we relaunch it today, 20 years later, in a very limited edition, it’s to pass on our heritage to all those who share our values and our spirit. »

The Mafia K’1FRY is more than a group of music lovers, it’s a family, chosen and united, which conveys values of unity, respect, solidarity and support.

It has marked the history of urban music in France. Collective and label founded in 1995, the ‘Mafia K1K1’ gathers several rappers and beat makers from the Val-de-Marne and the axis ‘Orly-Choisy-Vitry’ (near Paris). It gathers tenors of hip-hop like Manu Key of Different Teep, Karlito and OGB, the group IDEAL J composed of Kery James, Teddy Corona, and the late Las Montana and DJ Mehdi, the members of INTOUCHABLE : Demon One and Dry but also Rohff and friends who formed the famous group 113, RimK, Mokobé and AP, to name a few.

This team from 94 has greatly influenced French rap with its hardcore side and its unique style not copied from the Americans. It sent back an image that young people from working class neighborhoods could identify with. This ‘street-credibility’ and the talent of the members ensured a great success to the 2EPs and 2 albums of the collective : « Les liens sacrés. le sol, le sang, la rue » released in 1997, « Légendaires » launched in 1998, then the albums « La cerise sur le ghetto » in 2003 and « Jusqu’à la mort » released in 2007.

The Mafia K’1 FRY has subsequently developed a streetwear brand of its own, but the famous leather jacket so hoped for had never been produced … until now !

This very special piece was first seen on the talented designer Youssouf Fofana who created the french brand Maison Château Rouge. It was then officially presented by Teddy Corona on January 7, 2023 during the photo shoot organized at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

The member of the collective specifies that the leather K1FRY « Pour Ceux » is made in France and will be available in 3 versions : O.G, Black and Triple Black. These cowhide leather jackets feature dark red/white or black tone-on-tone embroidery, representing the map of the African continent on the world map, and the Mafia K’1 FRY branding on the chest and sleeve, as well as the numbering.

In the lookbook, we can see iconic members wearing the jacket, such as OGB, Manu Key or Papou the designer of the jacket, Alpha Wann the talented young rapper but also the street culture enthusiast Larry Deadstock, the creator of the eponymous parisian shop.

The Mafia K’1 Fry leather jackets « Pour Ceux » are limited to 100 numbered copies worldwide. From January 18 to 20, 2023, 50 pieces will be available in pre-order on the website of the streetwear brand mafiak1fryclothing.com and 50 pieces during the Pop-Up Store in the former TATI store in Barbès (where the 113 shot the video ‘Tonton du Bled’), on the basis of ‘1st come, 1st served’, don’t sleep !
