A common convention in rap videos is the artist wearing a shirt with the name of the town/city they grew up in or live in. I will try my best to match this convention by getting my actor to wear a t-shirt with the name of a well known location on it. An example can be seen below.
Another style of t-shirts that hip-hop artists wear are branded shirts. This can include Nike and Adidas so if I can't find a shirt with a city on it, Darrel should wear an Adidas or Nike shirt.
In hop hop music videos it is rare that the performer will be wearing bright clothes. I will follow this convention by choosing dark jeans and maybe a dark coat for the wardrobe in my music video.
Lastly, the pair of shoes that are worn in hip-hop videos are not usually specific to a brand or style. However they are rarely smart shoes. They are usually anything between sneakers and trainers. Examples are below.
