Ye, the artist and rapper formerly known professionally as Kanye West, has announced a new clothing line named 'Stemwear.' This clothing line was announced on Instagram where Ye posted a photo of a model wearing a white shirt with an embedded 'Stem Player.' The rapper stated that the clothes will be "coming soon," but did not specify an exact price or release date.
The Stemwear collection, which appears to be a clothing line made up of articles that hold the Stem Player in convenient ways, is the second major motion Ye has taken to promote his Stem Player. The first major motion was the decision to release 'DONDA 2' exclusively on the Stem Player. This accompanying clothing line further builds upon the number of reasons to buy the music player and subsequently the DONDA 2 album.
