The rapper announced this deal when he was celebrating earning over 10 plaques since he released his debut Album ‘B4Now’ last year. Redbat is a South African streetwear brand that was established by Sportscene. Respected as the kings of sneakerwear, sportscene is an authorised retailer of footwear and clothing from iconic street-inspired brands including Redbat, Nike, Air Jordan, adidas Originals, PUMA, Converse and Vans. Throughout the years the brand has collaborated with a lot of South African Hip Hop artists such as Nadia Nakai and have given them a chance to enter into a partnership with a big clothing brand and be able to create merchandise for their fans.
This is beneficial to the artists as Sportscene is a well known brand that will give the artists more credibility on terms of their brand value. This strategic partnership will seek to result in a fruitful business partnership and be possibly the start of a long term working relationship between Redbat and Blxckie.
