Vintage Hip Hop Style Shirt Prince Purple Rain Information

Where did Prince come from?

On June 7, 1958, Prince was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the son of jazz vocalist Mattie Della (née Shaw) and pianist and composer John Lewis Nelson. His four grandparents were all from Louisiana. His great-grandmother was the black nationalist Mittie Maude Lena Gordon, who founded the Ethiopian Peace Movement and called for emigration to West Africa in opposition to American white supremacy. His paternal relative was jazz drummer Louis Hayes.

He was named after his father’s best-known stage name, Prince Rogers, which he used when playing in a jazz trio called the Prince Rogers Trio with Prince’s mother. Prince’s father told A Current Affair in 1991 that he called his son Prince because he wanted him to “do whatever I wanted him to do.” Prince disliked his given name and preferred to be addressed as Skipper, a moniker that lasted with him throughout his boyhood. Prince said he was “born epileptic” and suffered seizures as a child.

Purple Rain by Prince is written in writing on this vintage hip-hop style tee.
