Rapper/Mr. Everything, Common, has teamed up with company Microsoft to produce a line of retro-style t-shirts. The collection, named Softwear, looks back to when the company was in its beginning stages.
The line's official spokesman, Common, described the fledgling brand as "very fly and progressive."
"I'm very enthused about it," Common stated. "No matter what size, it's gonna look right on you…Stay up and check out the Softwear."
Currently there are only a few shirts (Classic Designs and Common Designs). The team is hoping that as more shirts come so will the fans.
One shirt, named "The Creator: The Code of Hip-Hop," features lyrics to Common's 1994 hit "I Used to Love H.E.R."
