Description: In 1999 Keith Perrin traveled to Japan to promote the opening of a new FUBU store. It was a surprise to see how everyone in Japan dressed like he did and how huge hip-hop was there. It was a feeling of "arriving." By 1998, FUBU wanted to thank those who supported them, so they started giving back to colleges, boys/girls clubs, etc. They hosted a huge concert in St. Martin to thank the celebrities and press that were supporting them, featuring artists such as LL Cool J, Run-DMC, Mary J. Blige, The Gap Band and more.
