Ghostface Killah - Ghostface Killah Releasing Line Of Skateboards

The Wu-Tang Clan star has teamed up with Marvel Comics cover artist Mike del Mundo for the project, and together the two will create a limited-edition line of decks and T-shirts.

And the hitmaker, real name Dennis Coles, is excited about the new business venture, telling AllHipHop.com, "This is for my real Hip-Hop skate fans and for my Gfk-loyals that don't skate but is (sic) feeling the design."

Tops begin at $20 (£12.50), with skateboards carrying a price tag of $135 (£84.37).

The 42 year old isn't the only member of the rap scene to take up a liking for the sport - Lil Wayne is a big devotee.
