The Evolution of Krates ’N Records

 

 

Krates ’N Records isn't just a brand—it’s a movement. Born in Hartford, CT, in 2017, we came up on the sounds of vinyl, the energy of the nightlife, and the raw essence of street culture. Founded by Krazewayne and Romulus III, what started as a vision quickly turned into a brand for the ones who live and breathe music, fashion, and the streets. Now, with Romulus III at the helm, we’re pushing the culture forward.

From day one, we’ve been about real streetwear with a purpose. Our early designs made noise, like The Last One Tee—a salute to the roots of DJing, vinyl, and NYC’s golden era. But the game changes, and so did we. We pivoted, locking in on high-quality blank tees—premium, tagless, unbranded, and made for the ones who like to move in silence but still stand out.

Now, in 2025, we’re back to making statements. Krates ’N Records is gearing up to drop a new wave of streetwear, blending past and present, with designs that pay homage to the Classic House era—a time when underground beats and fashion went hand in hand. The music moved the people, and we’re bringing that same energy back to the streets through our next collection.

With a pending trademark and a renewed focus, Krates ‘N Records is stepping into the next chapter. Whether you’re rocking a blank tee or one of our new statement pieces, you’re not just wearing a brand—you’re carrying the culture.

The movement continues. Stay tuned.
