From the first time I heard rapper Driicky Graham’s hot track, “Snapbacks and Tattoos,” I’ve been blasting it whenever I hear it on the radio. But I had yet to put a face behind the. Who is Driicky Graham, you might ask? What is his fashion style like? Well its more than just snapbacks and tattoos.

Dricky Graham’s animal print and denim outfit the rapper wore to the 2012 BET Awards. Driicky Graham born Nasir Frederick Graham on November 23, 1991, he is the son of a professional boxer in the middleweight division, Derrick Graham known as Nasty Nasir Graham and Joylette Bullock, a teacher at a federal prison. The New World Era rapper was raised in Oxford, NC but his rapping hardly be characterized as “southern rap.” Perhaps its his East Coast roots (he was born in Newark, NJ) that give his musical and fashion sensibilities that East coast swag.

In the pictures above, Driicky’s biggest moment, probably to date, was his performance at the 2012 BET Award Pre-Show. He wore a denim and leopard print sleeveless jacket designed by Fresh and Jae which allowed him to show off some of his tattoos. That was a fine choice since Yung Fresh and Jae Young’s denim jackets have been worn by Travis Porter, Big Sean, Tyga, and Chris Brown. He accessorized the jacket with, not a big surprise, a black snapback cap, leopard print kicks, black cutoff skinny shorts and a fox tail.
