Popular in hip-hop culture, the Dab is a dance that originated in Southern U.S.A. Now, with the help of ATL rapper 2 Chainz, the popular dance has made its way onto a hot holiday sweater.
While Drake's Hotline Bling Christmas sweater celebrates the rapper's dance-centric music video, this sweater pays tribute to the Dab dance, which shows no signs of slowing down. With endless music videos promoting the dance, among them YouTube video of fans performing the movement effortlessly, this movement is gaining major popularity.
Utilizing its popularity for good, 'No Lie' rapper 2 Chainz has created the Dabbing Santa sweater. This kitschy holiday garment is offered in blue and black, with each colorway displaying a cartoon Santa doing the Dab in front of a modern snowflake pattern.
