<span class="view6">The Purple Tape Series officially launches on October 31st, with the first shirts being sold exclusively as pre-orders through ThisRespekWear and Raekwon’s official MySpace page.<br />
<br />
Created by ThisRespekWear founder and CEO, Jovan Stroop, the Purple Tape Series was created based on both Mr. Stroop and Raekwon hailing from Staten Island, NY. Named after Raekwon’s debut classic album – Only Built for Cuban Linx – the album went on to become an instant classic with it being sold as a purple cassette tape. At the recent BET Hip-Hop Awards, Raekwon debuted the shirt at a video shoot and party for the new collaboration.<br />
<br />
“We wanted a national launch, and we felt the best place was at the BET Hip-Hop Awards,” said Jovan Stroop. “This movement had to start big, just as Raekwon is. The love that we received in ATL shows that this shirt and the clothing line will be a huge success.”<br />
<br />
“When I saw the shirts for the first time – with the packaging – I knew we had a hit,” said Raekwon. “Jovan is bringing the Staten Island vibe to this line, and I’m with it. Once I had the shirt, we shot the video, had the party, and the rest is history. Purple Tapes, you already know.”<br />
<br />
The new commercials can be viewed via YouTube – search for ThisRespekWear – and more news is coming daily. The t-shirt is destined to be sold out in a week, as once word leaked, the shirt began to sell beyond the initial 5,000 shirts developed for the launch. The shirt is being sold in all shapes and sizes for $40. For updates and more information, please stay tuned to ThisRespekWear or through TRW’s Myspace page and Raekwon’s MySpace Page. Pre-orders are being accepted now.</span></p>
