Tyga is jumping into the weed game.

Things have been going surprisingly well for Tyga these days. Over the years, the rapper's reputation was tarnished due his relationship with Kylie Jenner and generally, failed business practices. However, over the past few months he's been re-establishing himself as a hit-making machine as we first knew him to be. As things are seemingly going better for him, the rapper seems to be making some major business moves.

Tyga continues to ride the wave of his top 10 charting single with what seems to be his forthcoming weed strain, "Taste Kush."  Yesterday, he shared a photo of himself in a grow room with the caption, "Lil babies @tastekush coming soon!!" According to their Instagram page, ADCC Dispensary in Los Angeles' Arts District will be the first be stocked with the strain.

Tyga wouldn't be the first California artist to monetize off of the legalization of marijauna in the State. Snoop Dogg and The Game are two other Cali natives who've jumped into the weed game. In addition, Wiz Khalifa, Freddie Gibbs and several other rappers have also launched their own strains. 

The announcement of Tyga's weed strain comes a few weeks after the rapper's single "Taste" with Offset went platinum. 

Things are certainly looking good for Tyga these days. We hope he has more music in the stash for us before the summer ends.
