Roc Nation rapper [Fabolous](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-the-family-x-gy-collection) has teamed up with New York-based company Moji Keyboard Inc. to create a collection of 50 custom emojis that symbolize all that the rap star stands for.

While Fabolous isn't the first celebrity to launch his own [custom emoji collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-emojis), none are quite like the rapper's line of hip-hop inspired emoticons. Titled 'YoungEmoOGis,' the emojis are available within an app exclusively on the Moji Keyboard application for iOS. The emojis within this collection include a red pair of [Studio Beats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beats-studio-buds-1) headphones, black sunglasses, a line of luxury cars, a few basketball jerseys and more.

Moji Keyboard Co-Owner Peter A. Bucci said the collection of emojis was developed to give fans and users a fun, engaging experience.
