Lil Wayne collaborates with Advisory Board Crystals for his third "Carter V" merch drop.

So far, the merch offered in Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V collaborations has been pretty eye-catching. Each piece seems to follow a different narrative, somehow connecting to fragments of Weezy's career. The first drop was a collaboration with Heron Preston, introducing an airbrush-style t-shirt with lyrics scrawled on the back. The second day brought Tunechi's "Cactus Plant" crewneck to life with a near-$100 price tag. Today, a new product is offered and like the last two, it's only available for the next 24 hours.

Until 5 PM EST tomorrow, Lil Wayne's collaboration with Advisory Board Crystals will be for sale on the official Carter V website so if you're particularly feeling the album and you want to represent the New Orleans rapper, get moving. Advisory Board Crystals have previously worked with the Migos on some exclusive hoodies so it's not much of a surprise to see them reaching out to other artists. The hoodie being offered is pretty out-of-this-world... and I mean that more literally than figuratively. There is a block of text on it that reads, "The Earth behaves like a gigantic electrical circuit. Its electromagnetic field surrounds and protects all living things with a natural frequency pulsation of 7.83 hertz on average." It goes on to describe the brain's natural frequencies and such scientific facts. 

The piece recalls Weezy's I Am Not A Human Being days with its focus on outer space and brain activity. The collaborative hoodie is priced at $95 and comes with a digital copy of Tha Carter V. Do you have your eyes on this one?
