A Year of Lil Wayne: Brand New Shirts

"My shirt brand new / my shoes brand new."

Day 162: "Brand New" – The Drought Is Over 4, 2007

What's Lil Wayne been up to lately? Well, insofar as we can ever answer that question, the answer is: Promoting his new Young Money merch line. Check it out! Here's a picture of him posing in a Young Money windbreaker, via his Twitter:

Not bad, right? Anyway, you know what else is not bad and is related, should you decide to buy some Young Money merch, is this song about riding around in brand new shoes and a brand new shirt. There are few joys as great as hearing 2007 Wayne spit these kinds of restrained bars over a totally skeletal beat like this, and there are few tragedies as great as the fact that you can't legally listen to it anywhere. Maybe someday, to go along with your brand new Young Money T-shirt, you'll be able to buy a brand new record of "Brand New." Until then, remember: "Ice / ridiculous price / your camera has / never saw a picture this nice."
