RUN 263 Returns + Karma's Run From Me [Watch Video]

 Everyone I’m sure remembers the year when the Run 263 looked to be the biggest Hip Hop Associated apparel on the market. If we could pick an MVP for the Hip Hp game that year it would have been the Quinton McVandal (QMCV) label Run 263. The only sad thing about that year is well, we’re sure our tees got lost in the mail…they will explain themselves.

These guys were surely part of the pioneering clothing lines to be associated with ZimHipHop, something that has become normal now in 2015. Needless to say, their disappearance from the game was note, the gap was there, And we hadn’t gotten our tees!!

In the wake of the sudden passing on of co-founder of QMCV apparel, Michael “MyKol Riley “ Mupeti, changes and developments had to be made to fill void left by the co-visionary and creative force of the company. Some of you may be aware that some time last year the industry lost the young but Talented Rapper cum graphic designer Mykol Riley (who had designed multiple award nominated artworks) to a car accident. Understandably, the QMCV team seemed to have been at a loss after this loss and had to hit the drawing board. It took quite a while but founder Panashe 'Arcane' Madziva has promised that those loyal to the brand that they will not disappointed.(Nigga, where our tees at though??!!)

QMCV Apparel, after this rather lengthy hiatus, brought back their signature RUN 263 range in early January, in what promises to have set the tone for another great year for the brand. QMCV has shown us in the past that they have great work rate and their love for hip hop always makes sure that their influence on the industry doesn’t go unnoticed. This can easily be seen in the way they chose to return to the game.

In early January, QMCV Apparel teamed up Mix Masterz' artist Karma & Rebel TV to made a video for the somewhat controversial song Run From Me (Run Jozi Remix) which went online on the 3rd of February. This promises to be the first of many videos made by QMCV Apparel to both advertise their products and promote Zimbabwean Hip Hop on a mass scale through cutting edge visuals, which is something they see as lacking in the local hip hop community, as it (QMCV Apparel) is a hip hop based and inspired brand. With the promise of more RUN 263 merchandise and more designs in the works, this is looking to be a good year for the clothing company.

Karma as always kills it on the Run Jozi instrumental, we're quite sure heads are gonna turn on this one. the video itself was well done and we heard some news of some developments on that front, but that's a story for another day. watch the video below:

We know just like us you like the idea of wearing local…so let’s not just wear local, let’s wear Local Hip Hop.
