This even culminated with his first personal album "Mektoub" which is the perfect crossover of street style and finesse. [3] [4] [2]

Sunglasses are Vlospa's trademark and he wears them at every concert and promo photo shoot, as well as in every public appearance. The “Mektoub Sunglasses”” [5] released with Die Nasty became a hit with the popular artist's audience, resulting in their stock being sold out quickly.
