According to the news, the Hip-Hop/Rapper Young Jeezy is set to offer his newest album and also a new fashion line. At one side, Young Jeezy’ album The Inspiration is due in December 12 and on the other side the Hip-Hop/Rapper’s 8732 clothing line which is formerly named U.S.D.A. (United Streets and Dopeboys of America) will hit stores in late November and features jeans, jackets and sweat tops. The sad part for the singer is that U.S.D.A can be easly associated with the United States Department of Agriculture and because of that the government won’t let him name it like that.

The government won’t let me [name the clothing line] U.S.D.A. [So] what I did was, you know back in the day, you know had those little pagers? We would page people numbers for letters. 8732 is U.S.D.A.
