Skateboard P just inked a job working behind the scenes as creative director for fashion-based multi-media company KarmaloopTV. The company originally started as an online retailer for streetwear brands like 10 DEEP and Crooks & Castles and after cornering that market, they moved on to expanding their digital game. Now, KMTV regulary releases video content based on the latest in street fashion, hip-hop and sneaker culture. But, let’s see where Pharrell takes this thing.
“Pharrell is, without a doubt, one of the most influential cultural creatives and business minds in America today,” Karmaloop CEO Greg Selkoe said. “We’re delighted and honored that he has joined our effort to create a multi-platform brand that will once again excite cutting-edge youth culture about TV, just as MTV did in the 1980s.”
after the jump, 50 Cent explains his cancelled deal with Sleek Audio and a photo of Dr. Dre, Terrace, Martin, Jay Rock, and DJ Quik hits the Net…

“As reported, the license arrangement between my company, G-Unit, and Sleek Audio to produce headphones branded as ‘Sleek by 50′ has been cancelled,” 50 Cent clarified to AllHipHop.com. “Instead, I have established a new company that is developing a complete line of audio accessories, including wireless headphones, offering superior sound quality along with cutting edge technology for all music lovers to enjoy.”
As a businessman, 50 said that he seeks ownership in any company that utilizes his name and brand recognition.
50, who still owns a hefty 7.5 million shares of TVGoods, is also still committed to his original vision of creating a world-class audio product for his fans.
“As an artist, I am committed to bringing top-of-the-line audio products to my fans, and I am excited that I have the resources to achieve just that with this new venture,” 50 Cent told AllHipHop.com.
