Rappin’ with the ’Bull

The Pitbull Signature Series: Edition 35 shirt, which is inspired by the rap star, supports the SLAM! Foundation to help advance learning opportunities for children around the world.
    “Music and education have always been a driving force in my life,” Pitbull said in a recent statement.
 “Partnering with the Hard Rock Heals Foundation for my Signature Series shirt will benefit SLAM! (Sports, Leadership, Arts and Management) in its efforts to help students from all walks of life achieve their highest potential.”
    “Pitbull and Hard Rock understand how imperative it is to invest in our future through the education of children,” added Kellie Brown, philanthropy manager for Hard Rock International. 
“Pitbull is a long-time supporter of the Hard Rock brand, and we are honoured to collaborate with him on this Signature Series programme that we know will have an impact on children around the globe.”
    The American rapper and producer will be bringing his new tour to Asia in May in support of his upcoming album “Climate Change”, which is slated for release on May 17. Dates include Olympic Park Olympic Hall in Seoul (May 18), Taipei Nangang Exhibition Hall in Nangang (May 20) and Zepp Namba in Osaka (May 23). His Thai show takes place at Impact Exhibition Hall 3-4, Muang Thong Thani, on May 25. 
    A percentage of the retail price of each Pitbull Signature Series shirt sold will be donated to SLAM through the foundation. The new signature series shirt features Pitbull’s famous moniker, “Mr Worldwide,” in vibrant turquoise and pink lettering in homage to his Miami upbringing. The limited-edition black shirt is available in men’s and women’s sizes and can be purchased online and at participating rock shops at Hard Rock Cafe, Hotel and Casino properties around the world. It’s priced at Bt1,300.
