Brooklyn brunch is about to get a serious dose of hip-hop history and fashion-world energy.
Fugees x KidSuper is bringing a special Sunday experience to Sunday in Brooklyn, blending the legendary group’s cultural influence with the creative world of Brooklyn-based designer KidSuper. And because this is Brooklyn, apparently regular brunch was simply not dramatic enough.
The Fugees—Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel—became one of hip-hop’s most influential groups in the 1990s, exploding into the mainstream with their landmark album The Score. Its combination of hip-hop, soul and reggae helped create a sound that still feels unmistakable decades later.
KidSuper, founded by designer and artist Colm Dillane, has similarly built a reputation for mixing fashion, art, music and playful Brooklyn energy. The brand’s collaborations and colorful aesthetic have made KidSuper a fixture far beyond traditional fashion circles.
Put the two together and you get an event that feels less like a standard Sunday afternoon and more like someone dropped a cultural time capsule directly into Williamsburg.
And the location is fitting. Sunday in Brooklyn has become a neighborhood destination for brunch, cocktails and its famously fluffy pancakes, making it a natural backdrop for an event that sits somewhere between food, fashion and music.
The Fugees connection adds another layer. For fans who grew up with The Score playing on repeat, seeing the group’s name paired with a contemporary Brooklyn creative force like KidSuper is the sort of crossover that makes the phrase “only in New York” feel entirely appropriate.
Whether you’re there for the Fugees, KidSuper, fashion, music, food or simply a very good excuse to spend Sunday in Brooklyn, this is one event worth watching.
Because in a city where brunch has become competitive enough to require strategy, showing up for pancakes is good.
Showing up for Fugees x KidSuper?
That’s a Sunday with considerably more cultural credibility.
And yes, you can still order the pancakes.
