about rapmvmnt
our mission
to provide a platform for the underrepresented and inspire the youth to prevail
RAPMvmnt is a collective based in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) that aims to capture urban culture and inspire the youth to be confident in themselves. We create streetwear, music, and host community events that represent our passion for inspiring others.
We value honesty and acceptance and use these principles to help people
discover themselves.
Our name, shortened from "The Real Ones Always Prevail", embodies these values. It reminds us that those who are "real", people who don't pretend to be something they're not,
will always come out on top.
The name inspires us to be confident in who we are. We aim to inspire you to seek and develop that same confidence in yourself.
