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."

Laughingly, Common explained the roots of the name. Soji is my next door neighbor’s name and I love that name,” he stated laughingly.

Common expects Soji to be available in the fall of 2005 and is currently working out strategic partners.

“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 books.

Ive been a fan of his hats and gear for years. Common is probably the most fashion forward artist in hip hop. Im looking forward to these hats. Im a fan. Anyone else?

yowzaz. Common really is breaking into the mainstream.
Well I'm happy for him,he totally deserves it.

Does this mean that cats like me who have a full head of hair can look forward to the Justin Timberlake hair gel that will no doubt be released in 3-4 years?

Me two, I have a white one like the one in the above image. I used to just have friend’s of mine crochet hats for me, if his line of hats are not too expensive I will definitely cop one of those.

Awesome. Ive been a fan of crochet hats for about 4 years now. I bought a cotton crochet Polo scarf in 2001 thats red, black, yellow and green and I havent looked back since. He says hes going to be doing lots of Apple Jacks and crochets. Im really looking forward to the line.
