Hip-hop has officially reached its golden anniversary, and Timberland is paying homage to the genre that helped put it on the map. To celebrate 50 years of hip-hop, the footwear brand dropped a special Hip-Hop Royalty collection featuring the original Timberland, 6-inch boot in royal purple and a matching bucket hat.
Representing the “four pillars of hip-hop” — MCing, DJing, breakdancing and graffiti — the “royal” boot pays homage to hip-hop’s foundation with special details like a graffiti stencil logo, microphone chord laces. A Sedgwick Ave. street sign on the tongue of the boot symbolizes the genre’s birthplace in the Bronx.
“Hip-hop is such an in-your-face genre where we created something out of nothing,” Timberland designer Christopher Dixon explains in a video posted on Timberland’s Instagram account on Sunday (Feb. 26). ”For [hip-hop] to be 50 years old and it’s still going, that says a lot about the foundation. Everybody in between those 50 years [has] contributed to something special.”
Brooklyn rapper Lola Brooke stars in the campaign. “The Original Timberland Boot and Hip Hop were born in 1973 — that’s 50 years of an iconic combination,” reads another message on Timberland’s Instagram account. “Hip Hop has impacted our brand enormously over the past five decades, so we’re proud to present Brooklyn MC, @lola.brooke, who is one of the voices carrying Hip Hop into the next 50 years, in the Timberland Hip Hop Royalty Boot.”
From the Notorious B.I.G.’s infamous “Timbs for my hooligans in Brooklyn” line in “Hypnotize” to the long list of rappers that have name dropped Timberland in lyrics and offered up free promo by wearing the boots in photo shoots and on album covers, Timberland is deeply indebted to hip-hop.
Over the last 71 years Timberland, founded in 1952, has grown to become one of the world’s premiere boot brands. DMX owned a reported 1,500 pairs of Timberlands but he’s not the only rap star who openly loved wearing and rapping about Timbs.
In 1993, a breakthrough year for rap legends like Tupac Shakur, Wu-Tang Clan, Naughty by Nature and De La Soul, Timberland netted nearly $420 million in sales, which seemingly underscores how the brand grew in popularity as hip-hop rose up the ranks. In 1994, Timberland raked in $637.50 million an increase of more than 50 percent from the previous year.
By 2000, Timberland netted its first billion and became a staple in fashionable footwear — likely due to Jay Z, DMX, Wu-Tang, Cam’Ron and other rappers who wore the boots almost constantly.
Timberland’s “royalty” boot is available at Timberland.com in sizes for adults and kids. The boot retails for $210 in men’s sizes and is priced at $170-$90 in smaller sizes (women’s, kids, juniors and toddlers).

With that said, it makes sense that celebs like Nick Jonas, Justin Timberlake, George Strait (shop the country legend’s Código 1530 here), Carlos Santana, Diddy and Adam Levine have gotten into the tequila business.
In celebration of National Margarita Day, we’ve compiled eight musician-backed tequila brands for you to enjoy. See the lineup below and for more drink suggestions, read our list of musician-owned liquor and non-alcoholic brands and wines.
Deleón Tequila – Sean Diddy Combs
Diddy and spirits company Diageo purchased the tequila brand in 2014. Deleón offers a variety of tequilas made from 100% Highland Blue Weber agave from the Los Altos region of Jalisco.
Reserve Bar
Deleón Blanco Tequila
$29.99
“Hand-selected at harvest for high quality and peak ripeness, our plants yield the sweetest piñas, giving the tequila its abundant character and balance,” the website reads. “Slow roasting of the agave in traditional brick and clay ovens, combined with slow fermentation, under the precise guidance of our master distiller contribute enriched depth and complexity to the agave’s natural sweetness, creating a remarkably nuanced character.”
Deleón is available at Reserve Bar, Total Wine & More and Drizly.
Casa Noble Tequila – Carlos Santana
Carlos Santana joined Casa Noble Tequila as a part owner in the brand and a member of its board of directors in 2011. Santana was born in Jalisco, so it was a perfect fit for the guitar legend.
Reserve Bar
Casa Noble Añejo
$51.99
The company handcrafts organic tequilas in crystal, reposado and añejo styles. Order it on Drizly here.
Villa One – Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas, John Varvatos and Stoli teamed up to create Villa One in 2019. The website boasts tequila with a “unique combination of agave flavors that combines herbaceous, earthy Lowland notes with the sweeter, fruity notes of Highland agave, resulting in a distinct, rounded profile.”
Reserve Bar
Order the silver and reposado varieties via Drizly here.
Calirosa Tequila – Adam Levine
Calirosa Blanco Tequila

Dos Primos, which means “Two Cousins,” was fittingly launched by the country superstar and his cousin Jeff Worn to “create a tequila that blended Mexican tradition with southern sensibility.”

The award-wining tequila lineup includes reposado, añejo and tequila blanco.
Santo – Sammy Hagar & Guy Fieri
Hagar and celebrity chef Fieri teamed up with Juan Eduardo Nuñez, a third-generation distiller from distillery El Viejito in Jalisco for Santo, which offers “a sinfully smooth old world style tequila blanco, an oak-aged reposado, and the world’s first mezquila.”

The wait is almost over! Season 2 of Bel-Air, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot executive produced by Will Smith, premieres on Peacock on Thursday (Feb. 23).
Jabari Banks stars as Will in a dramatic reimagining of the original sitcom. The cast includes Olly Sholotan as Carlton Banks, Coco Jones as Hillary Banks, Akira Akbar as Ashley Banks and Jimmy Akingbola as the Banks family butler, Geoffrey.
How Robert Glasper & Terrace Martin Ended Up Scoring the ‘Fresh Prince’ Reboot ‘Bel-Air…
02/22/2023
Adrian Holmes and Cassandra Freeman play Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv. April Parker Jones plays Will’s mom (Aunt Viv’s sister) Viola “Vy” Smith. Karrueche Tran, Duane Martin, Charlie Hall and Stevonte Hart are among the recurring cast.
Michael Ealy, Marlon Wayans and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum Daphne Maxwell Reid guest starred in the first season. The new season will also feature new and familiar faces including Tatiana Ali and a guest appearance from Saweetie. Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin scored the music for the show.
Bel-Air is based on a 2019 fan-created dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air short film by novice filmmaker Morgan Williams. After the clip went viral, Smith reached out to Williams to discuss developing a series. Bel-Air was later picked up by Peacock and named the platform’s most streamed original series last year.
Like the original, Bel-Air centers around, a West Philadelphia teen whose mother sends him to live with aunt and uncle in the swanky Los Angeles suburb of Bel-Air, Calif.
Banks, 24, is a native of West Philadelphia like Smith. “As soon as I learned I booked the show, I was in California in two days. After that week, we flew to Philly and we started filming. I’ve been filming ever since,” he told The Hollywood Reporter last year. “I remember hearing stories about how The Fresh Prince would air [in Philly] and everything would shut down. Everybody just watched the episode and the next day were talking about it.”
How to Stream Bel-Air On Peacock
The first three episodes of Bel-Air Season 2 will debut on Peacock on Thursday. The show streams at no additional charges to subscribers. New episodes will premiere every Thursday leading up to the finale.
Not subscribed? Monthly plans start at $4.99 (or $49.99 a year) for the ad-supported Peacock Premium and $9.99/month ($99.99 a year) for commercial-free streaming.

Besides, Bel-Air, Peacock is home to original series such as Poker Face, The Best Man: The Final Chapters, The Traitors, The Real Housewives of Miami, Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin. Subscribers will also get access to bingeable movies, sports (including WWE), news, kid-friendly content and episodes of beloved shows like Yellowstone, The Office and That 70s Show, Modern Family, Parks & Recreation, plus new episodes of Saturday Night Live and other NBC and Bravo shows.
Not sure if you already have access to Peacock? Comcast will be ending its free Peacock subscription for XFinity customers this summer but there’s still time to potentially join for free (click here for more information). You can stream Peacock on your television, phone, computer and other compatible devices. Streaming internationally? Peacock is available through ExpressVPN and NordVPN.
In the latest season of Bel-Air, Will moves out of his aunt and uncle’s home in Bel-Air and sets up shop in South Central Los Angeles. “My whole life was based on a lie,” he says in the trailer. “I can’t go back to the way things were.”
