As part of an impressive run of releases, Brooklyn-born/New Orleans-based rapper Cavalier came with two of the best rap albums in 2024. In the spring, his solo record Different Type Time stood out with its hazy production, winding, serpentine rhyme patterns and slick lines. In November, he followed up with CINE, a collaborative tape with the producer, Child Actor. On the latter’s “Knight Of The East,” “Sword Lilies” and “Sacrifice” Cavalier’s delivery, wordplay and world-building alternate between playful and deadly serious. An impressive one-two combo, Different Type Time and CINE further solidify Cavalier as one of underground rap’s most significant figures.

a slow-burning record that invites you to live in its world, where time bends, routines shift, and clarity emerges.

CINE plays like a beautifully abstract film score—its mood, tone, and storytelling are deeply cinematic, with Cavalier’s lyricism at the center.

CAVALIER’S RL ARCHIVE

— Curated by Culture, Styled by Legacy

Step into a curated corner of Ralph Lauren through the eyes of Cavalier — Brooklyn-born, New Orleans-based artist and rapper whose relationship with Polo runs deep. Influenced by OGs in his neighborhood and inspired by early memories of fly babysitters rocking ski goggles on the subway, Cavalier’s love for the brand goes beyond fashion — it’s personal, cultural, and generational. To him, Ralph Lauren is America’s definitive style language, one that allows anybody — from a Texas tycoon to a downtown kid — to express themselves through classic silhouettes.

Now, Cavalier brings that perspective full circle with a handpicked selection of pieces that reflect his own lived experience — a style archive rooted in Black Americana, nostalgia, and self-expression. These aren’t costumes or curated looks for approval. These are real people in real life, doing what they do — in Polo.

Browse the shop and experience Ralph Lauren as translated through Cavalier’s lens: timeless, multidimensional, and unapologetically original
