New marketing ideas are rare in hip-hop these days but of course innovator Mos Def is bringing the creativity to the marketing campaign of his current album “The Ecstatic.” The album has already been released but in a new twist Mos Def has partnered with clothing company LnA which owns the Invisible DJ Music Tee to further push the album.

Basically, Mos Def’s next album will literally be sold through a t-shirt. The shirt will have “The Ecstatic” album cover on the front, track listing on the back and will include a special download code to download the entire album. Buy the shirt…get the album. Crazy thing is according to HipHopDX, SoundScan is going to count the t-shirt as an album sale. Sounds pretty cool…unless the shirt is ridiculously expensive.

Snoop Dogg x Skull Candy. The headphone company announced their partnership with Snoop back in February which included Snoop promoting the company with a tour and appearances while Snoop would get his own custom Skullcrusher headphone line. Well now the Snoop Dogg Skullcrushers are officially available for the price of $79.95 at the official site.

The headphones come in Snoop’s signature bandana design in either Crip Blue (not official name) or Ten-A-Key Black. Check em here. Do I see a Beats by Dre vs. Snoop’s Skullcrusher battle coming on?

Pretty nice shirt. Alchemist and Diamond Supply team together for this one. Via: NahRight

The Game x NBA 2K10. The Game has a nice little deal here with 2K as he will be featured as the main artist for the upcoming NBA 2K10. Like all NBA 2K games, the soundtrack will feature a bunch of artists but they usually pick a handful to focus on. Getting someone like The Game to do a custom song is pretty big. Check the song over at 2DopeBoyz. Of course Kobe is reppin’ the West out here and will be gracing the cover.

Wow that was fast. Get your “official” FREE MAX B t-shirt for only $15. You can add it to your “FREE YAYO” and “FREE T.I.” shirt collections. Via: NahRight

Looks like Pharrell is giving Kanye a run for his money in the custom watch category. Here is a shot of his brand new gold encrusted G-Shock which is a collaboration model with Bape. On his blog over at Honeyee.com Pharrell wrote the following about his new watch:

My jeweler says it looks like I dropped this G Shock in a tavern filled of yellow rock candy…
Well,I think it’s more like a thousand fire flies in a jar.

WoooHa will refrain from stating what we really thing it looks like. But it sounds like the word “pit” but take the “p” out and replace it with “sh.”

At least Whoo Kid admits he is not a “real” DJ in this video. He battles it out against Warren G on the new Activision game DJ HERO. Check the clip compliments of The Koalition.
