Rapper Common is planning

to venture into clothing accessories with a line of “high-end” hats

called Soji

“I love hats man, I been wearing them for so long and people always ask

me where I get my hats from. So, why not just design something? I want to keep

it high-end and quality on the hat side,” he told AllHipHop.com.

The Chicago-born rapper explained that his Soji hat line would reflect his ever-evolving

sense of style.

“It’ll be more variety, but it will be like the Applejack hats, but

mostly like the styles that are high-end."

my next door neighbor’s name and I love that name,” he stated laughingly.

“We’re

getting all the designs together right now,” the rapper concluded. In

previous interviews, Common has revealed that he also releasing a line of children’s
