DJ Ross One holds an archive within his home closet. The hip-hop historian, beat selector and skilled mix-maker possesses one of the most impressive collections of vintage rap tees on the planet, and in a new video interview produced by The Fader, he welcomed the public into his inner shirt sanctum. This is what a grade-A guap of garments looks like.

Ross's collection spans over 300 tees and includes both rare tour joints and bizarre bootlegs. And now, you can check them out in a new book called Rap Tees which features high-class photographs of DJ Ross One's stash. This is a must-cop for all of the fashion-minded heads on your holiday gift list. From Run-DMC to De La Soul to the Beastie Boys, Gang Starr and Heavy D, the collection covers practically every essential old school act to do it right, back in the day.
