2Pac, The Thoroheadz 'K Doog', 50 Niggaz Denim Jacket, worn by K-Dog

This circa 1995 Levi’s demin jacket was previously owned by Atron Gregory (b. 1959) and worn by K-Kastro (Katari Terrance Cox, b. 1976) who was also known as K-Dog and K-Doog during his time in the Outlawz (also known as The Thor Headz, Tha Outlaw Immortalz, and Dramacydal).  K-Dog/K Doog who was also given the alias Kastro after Cuban communist revolutionary and leader Fidel Castro. He is the cousin of Tupac Shakur and an original member of Outlawz also known as Thoro Headz and Young Thugs. The Outlawz—formerly known as Tha Outlaw Immortalz—was a west coast hip-hop group founded by rapper Tupac Shakur in late 1995 after Shakur's release from prison. “50 Niggaz” that’s on the jacket representing all “niggaz” in all 50 states.  50 Niggaz stands for 1 black from every state of the USA, “all them niggaz would be stronger than every weapon, if they would be united.” Tupac has this similar phrase tattooed on his body which specifically symbolized black unity. Tupac believed that if one black person from every state joined together with him, they’d be stronger than an AK-47. In his song “Holla at Me” from “All Eyez on Me” album, Tupac sang “I want members across tha fifty states”.

Dramacydal first appeared on the B-side of Tupac Shakur's (1971-1996) 1993 single "Holler If Ya Hear Me" and was composed of K-Dog (Kastro), Young Hollywood (Yaki Kadafi), Mutah or Mu (Napoleon), and Big Malcolm (E.D.I. Mean). One of Gangsta Rap’s biggest stars of the 1990s, 2Pac is remembered as a rap luminary, a talented actor, and a controversial figure.

Two-toned black and purple oversized Levi’s demin jacket. “The Thoroheadz” and “‘K ’DOOG’,” embroidered in white thread on the upper right chest and “50 N*ggaz” embroidered in white thread on the upper left chest. Two large patch pockets are placed on the lower third of the jacket and a zippered pocket on the upper left chest. A large black leather patch with purple suede lettering spelling “2PAC” is appliqued to the upper half of the back of the jacket
