Yea you had Jadakiss give his FUBU love but now it’s time to hear from the Chef. Raekwon talks about how the FUBU legacy affected him and what to expect from the relaunched line.

Beyonce x House of Dereon. Beyonce might be promotional partners for what seems like every consumer product in the world, but she gets her biggest revenue sharing deals obviously from her own company, House of Dereon. While many artists try and stay out of the modeling for their own brand, Beyonce makes sure to turn the heat up for every one of her Dereon campaigns. This Spring/Summer 2010 promo video is no different. Prepare to get steamy.

Snoop Dogg x Upper Playground. Snoop is all about his West Coast roots, but on his current “More Malice” tour he wants everyone to celebrate the block they are from. Snoop is working with the communities he is touring in and local artists to create merchandise authentic to that community.

It’s a nice personal touch to the merch and a great idea. Snoop continues to be at the forefront of innovative marketing without boasting about it. Check the first of these with San Francisco’s Upper Playground “More Malice” shirt. No doubt they will see an increase of sales off the already ridiculously high profit margin of tour t-shirt.

UPDATE: The fine PR folks at Akoo have just released the following statement in regards to the controversy surrounding this outdoor billboard ad:

“The AKOO brand has always aimed to inspire individualism and creativity. Our advertising campaign was not created to offend or insult anyone but to simply provoke dialogue and thought regarding male/female sexuality within urban culture,” the company said as it alluded to exposing more sides of the brand in future promotions. We hope that as more of the campaign is debuted, people will see the multifaceted personality of AKOO.”
