Hip-hop rapper Chief Keef teamed up with Chinatown Market and WeBuyGold to release a series of limited-edition goods. The inspiration for the merchandise range was drawn from WeBuyGold's animated series starring Mr.300. The animated show follows the story of Cheif Keef's iconic traffic stop where the rapper told authorities that he bought the car because it was fast. The series can be watched on WeuyGold's Instagram account.
The capsule itself honors the rapper's personality and is comprised of staple pieces such as a long-sleeve shirt, a hoodie, t-shirt and a hat. All of the pieces boast the animated graphics in predominantly purple and green details. The collection can be purchased online at Chinatown Market or at WeBuyGold.
