Jay-Z, Outkast, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Nelly…and you can add 50 Cent to that list of artists with their own clothing lines. 50 has joined forces with Marc Ecko, owner and creator of Ecko Unlimited. And what else would 50 called his clothing line? G-Unit Clothing Co.
The line is expected to be ready for the holidays (hear the cash registers ringing?), and the gear will retail for a relatively low price ($40 for jeans). Don’t expect to see any prices with .99 though, all items will be $X.50.
“It’s not new for a rapper or pop artist to launch a clothing line, but what is new is that a design-driven company like us is partnering with an artist to offer the marketing and merchandising,” Ecko told The Associated Press.
