One of Wu Tang’s most popular members, Raekwon the Chef is back with an all new upcoming mixtape called “Unexpected Victory” dropping on New Year’s Day exclusively at Dat Piff. Mighty Healthy, who is no stranger to Wu-inspired tees, gets in on the action with this special limited edition collaborative tee shirt, which also drops on the first day of 2012. Each tee shirt order will be accompanied by a hard copy of the new mixtape, making for extra incentive to cop the tee. If you’re not too partied out New Year’s day, be sure to remember to get both the mixtape and tee.
