Project 6




The music lifestyle brand known as Rocksmith has been around for years, beginning in 2004 and there company continues to make strides in the street wear community. They are known for their music inspired collections and have recently been collaborating with an array of influential artists. One of the brands biggest projects this year is the ode to the Wu Tang Era. This year marks Wu Tang’s 20th Anniversary of the release of the groups first studio album, 36 Chambers. The capsule collection features hoodies, T-shirts, and accessories, all covered in the original album artwork. Like anything else in the world, it is all about timing and it just so happens that Wu Tang is supposed to be reuniting and coming out with a new album. This partnership is a honestly a brilliant idea, any true Wu Tang fan had to have had original memorabilia from the group, all the way back from the 90’s and this new clothing line gives them items to add 20 years later. As far as the younger generation it’s something to look cool in I mean, don’t we all love retro stuff. Now, it is pretty obvious that the Rocksmith staff is hardworking bunch, due to the fact that they are doing pretty well with their own collection, taking on a collection with Wu Tang, and yesterday they just announced a new collection with Memphis rapper Yo Gotti.  The rappers album, I Am, is said to be dropping the 19th of this month and along with the album his fans will be able to support buy purchasing items from his own capsule collection. The collection will include French terry crewnecks and sublimated t-shirts in monochrome, volt, and magenta. Yo Gotti has definitely made a name for himself in the hip hop world, but will his collection be as successful as the Wu’s, one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time? All of the brands clothing can be found in select stores and, more accessible, there website RockSmithnyc.com
