Posted by Atlanta, Georgia – Waka Flocka Flame was born in South Jamaica, Queens, New York, but Atlanta, Georgia, would eventually become his home when his family relocated. Today, the “Oh Let’s Do It” is an Atlanta rap legend and he’s extending his love for the city in a partnership with the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.
On Tuesday (November 30), the Atlanta Hawks announced they will be joining forces with Waka Flocka Flame for a special in-store collaboration with SKRIT, his new streetwear line. The collection will include neutral-colored t-shirts, fleece crewnecks and joggers, all decorated with the Hawks’ logo.
“I’m excited about bringing SKRIT to my hometown of Atlanta with one of the most iconic teams in the NBA,” said Waka Flocka in a statement. “SKRIT has no creative ceiling, and I consider this one of the most potentially worthwhile investments I’ve made in a long time.”
