Republic’s JOB rolling papers brand is launching a line of products in collaboration with rap mogul Birdman’s $TUNNA brand.
“When we learned that Birdman was a fan of our historic JOB rolling papers brand, we knew that JOB’s creativity-focused premium style would match perfectly with his luxury lifestyle and personal brand,” said Paul Marobella, president and chief marketing officer of Republic, in a press note. “JOB has long been a cultural icon and a favorite in rolling circles, and we look forward to that continuing through our partnership with the music industry legend Birdman and his Cash Money Records.”
JOB x $TUNNA Champagne rolling papers feature organic hemp paper sourced from Champagne, France, and will be sold in 1¼ and 1½ booklets. Following the launch, JOB x $TUNNA plans to expand its line to include cones, accessories and apparel.
Republic will debut JOB x $TUNNA Organic Hemp Rolling Papers at the CHAMPS Las Vegas trade show, July 27–30, 2021. JOB x $TUNNA products are available for presale at the Republic Brands booth (#5205) prior to the product’s official launch date in September 2021.
In addition, Republic Brands’ top customers will get access to an exclusive concert sponsored by JOB x $TUNNA featuring Gucci Mane on July 29.
