Atlanta GA rapper Young Jeezy recently revealed that he had to rename his clothing line U.S.D.A. (United Streets and Dopeboys of America) to 8732, at the behest of the United States government.

According to Young Jeezy, the government of the United States prevented him from using the U.S.D.A. acronym, which also stands for the United States Department of Agriculture.

“The government won’t let me [name the clothing line] U.S.D.A.,” Young Jeezy told AllHipHop.com. “[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.”

The rapper’s first foray into the clothing world was a success, when his frowning “snowman” promotional T-shirt-shirt became one of the most bootlegged T-shirts-shirts of 2005-2006.

The shirt was banned from numerous school systems because of its alleged drug references.

Young Jeezy said the new 8732 clothing line will feature a variety of urban wear.

“The jackets, the f****ng sweat tops, the Bronze jeans,” Young Jeezy said. “The jeans run anywhere from $120, tops at $120, but you know it’s some nice s**t man. I mean its all snowman.”

8732 clothing is slated to hit stores in late November.

SoJones.com, an Urban & Hip-Hop fashions focused site, is looking to gather more details of Jeezy’s upcoming 8732 clothing collections. Taking photos at the Magic Fashion convention of the USDA booth in early 2006, the site already has some photos of what was being produced for the newly re-titled brand.

Check SoJones’ on-line Stores page for the latest web retailers that might carry the clothing brand. The page will also have promotional & discount codes that might be offered by the different on-line shops that carry Hip Hop clothing for men and women.

Young Jeezy’s 8732 clothing line will also be featured on SoJones.com Celebrity (clothing) Lines In The Near Future. The demand for the atlanta artist’s brand has already led to thousands of google searches and many SoJones inquiries.

In related news, Young Jeezy and R&B singer Akon are working on an album together, following their successful single “Soul Survivor,” one of the rapper’s biggest hits from his album Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101.

Young Jeezy has also partnered with Atlanta-based mobile company Hi-Fli Tones to be the face of the company’s new promotional campaign.
