Rapper
Paul Wall is taking his penchant for making grills to the next level.The
Houston rapper has teamed with Zenetti, a global trendsetter in designer automotive
accessories, to create a signature line of vehicle grills and wheels encrusted
with cubic zirconium stones. The
items will be available for coupes, SUVs, Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnums, Chargers
and Cadillac Escalades."The
front end grills will be iced out with crystals, and they will be compatible with
Chargers, 300M’s, Magnums, and Escalades," Paul Wall told AllHipHop.com.
"The wheels are called the Masquerade. They will have crystallized iced out
plates that cover the chrome base. One of the best things about the wheels is
that the face plates will be removable so that you can ride on chrome or skate
on ‘ice’!"Noted
for its sophisticated styling and cutting edge concepts, Zenetti specializes in
custom wheels for luxury sedans, sports cars and SUVs as well as body styling
kits and vehicle grillsLike
the grills, the rims will be available for coupes, SUVs, Chrysler 300,
Dodge Magnums, Chargers and Cadillac Escalades. Size will range from 19 to 26
inches.The
Zennetti alliance comes on the heels of Wall’s recent Grammy nomination for Rap
Performance by a Duo or Group for "Grillz," with Nelly, Ali and Gipp.The
rapper, who joined filmmaker Raquel Cepeda this past summer on a trip to Freetown,
Sierra Leone with a contingency from the United Nations and VH1 to raise awareness
of conflict diamonds, will donate a portion of the profits from the sales of the
grills to humanitarian efforts in Sierra Leone and other war impoverished countries
affected by the diamond trade. Paul
Wall hopes the effort will help the damage caused in part by the illicit smuggling
and mining of diamonds.The
rapper’s experience will be captured in the documentary, Bling: A Planet Rock,
which will hit theaters in early 2007. The
grills and wheels as well as the documentary are slated to be released the first
quarter of this year.
