RHYMEFEST
Hip-hop pays lip service to keeping it real. Lately, though, the genre has seen a glut of performers trotting out gangster personae. Rhymefest never puts on a costume, and he doesn't pretend to be hard. "I want to fight the wackness that rap has become," he says. "What we need are rappers who are both truthful and entertaining."
RHYMEFEST: His shirt ($50) is by
INDIGO RED.
