I guess you can't be a hip hop artist these days without your own
clothing line and that's exactly what 50 Cent is about to do. 50 and
Marc Ecko have teamed up for 50's signature line of apparel, G-Unit
Clothing Co. The line will feature a 50 Cent price point which means
a pair of jeans may retail for $40.50 and a t-shirt for $20.50, of
course in honor of the company's founder. G-Unit Clothing will
feature menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, watches and leather
goods will be phased in over the next 3 years. Ecko compared he and
50's combination to Nike and Michael Jordan coming together to form
the Air Jordan sneaker. Ecko said 'It's not new for a rapper 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. Check for the G-Unit Clothing Co. line to hit
stores just in time for the holidays and in case you're wondering why
50 went with Ecko, the two have a history. A few years ago, 50 Cent
starred in one of Ecko Unimited's ad campaigns.

let's see how many rappers with clothing lines? The fashion market is
oversaturated. I need them to stretch themselves to new arenas and
not MORE RECORD LABELS either. Get some restaurants or hell a nursing
home.
