Independent Clothing Brand of the Year 2025

HHF Awards, Atlanta

Representing Nebraska with pride, we took Atlanta by storm and brought the crown home. This win isn’t just ours, it’s for the culture.

From Nebraska to Atlanta – And Straight to the Top

The Journey Begins

As the COO of HipHop Fraternity Nebraska, I’ve always believed in pushing boundaries. So when I got the opportunity to represent my city at the HHF Awards in Atlanta, I knew it was bigger than just fashion, it was a moment to make history.

Bringing Home the Win

You all made it possible

Out of hundreds of brands, we were named Independent Clothing Brand of the Year. This win isn’t just for me, it’s for us all, for the community, and for every voice that’s felt overlooked. We’re just getting started.

DJ Deceptacon – No Cap, All Vibe

Reppin’ Real Sound, Real Style

When DJ Deceptacon steps behind the decks, he doesn’t just drop tracks, he drops energy. Known for his fire sets and fearless presence, he’s more than a DJ, he’s a culture driver. That’s why he wears It’s Not a Game. Because when you bring real heat to the scene, your fit better say something too.
