Bacardi Rum has teamed up with streetwear label Nahmias and award-winning music producer Boi-1da to launch an all-new clothing line that is tied to a first-of-its-kind music distribution model.
All of the items in the capsule, which includes hoodies, t-shirts, jackets, and hats, come with embedded QR codes. When users scan these codes with their mobile devices they will be redirected to a specific album by a chosen musician. The new clothing capsule will be offered as part of Bacardi's broader Music Liberates Music program, which intends to provide a platform for up-and-coming artists in the music industry.
"I've been looking forward to this next iteration of Music Liberates Music and how we can bring more attention to rising artists that are the future of music in an unexpected way, with some help from my friend Doni and BACARDÍ," said GRAMMY-winning producer, Boi-1da
