15 Pieces of Music Merch We Need This Summer

New music merch from your favorite artists.

1. This Glo Gang charger

Buy it here.

When your phone dies, it takes a little part of you with it, and until you can get it up and running again, you feel incomplete. Such is the reality of the human condition in 2016—instead of wallowing in it, why not Glory-fy it?

With this Glo Gang portable charger, you can ensure that your phone is constantly charged up. This accessory comes in a variety of designs, but we like the classic Glo Cup logo best. The perfect gift for the Chief Keef fanatic in your life.

3. This OVO sweater

Buy it here.

Regardless of how you feel about Drake, you cannot deny the influence he's had in the fashion world.

Everything in the OVO store is fresh, but this half-zip is especially dope—the embroidered collar and clean logo make it a versatile but exciting piece. Cop it in red if you really want to stunt.

5. This Skepta long sleeve T-shirt

Buy it here.

If you missed Skepta's Konnichiwa tour, fear not: he has recently made the tour merch available online.

This long sleeve is especially sick. The text-along-the-sleeves motif is executed perfectly here, and the closed-captioned image in the shirt's center is a unique design that will have fellow Skepta fans throwing envious eyes.

7. This A$AP Mob bandana

Buy it here.

If you’re going to buy into the bandana trend, do it with the rap gang that made the bandana cool again. A$AP Worldwide’s got a simple black kerchief that’s not too flashy or logo-branded, with the group’s namesake concealed in the cloth’s middle square.

Look no further than the A$AP mob for inspiration: wear it tucked under a hat and wrapped as a makeshift headband like A$AP Rocky, or around the neck à la A$AP Ferg.

9. This Dipset shower curtain

Buy it here.

Dipset fans will never have to part from their favorite rap group again—not even in the shower.

The Harlem hip-hop legends have always been about fashion, but now their merch is branching out to new directions, your bathroom included. If you want to have a fur-coated Cam’ron watch over you while you brush your teeth, and also to not have $70, this one’s for you.

11. This Quality Control T-shirt

Buy it here.

In a subgenre so dominated by designer labels, it comes as no surprise that Atlanta trap label Quality Control's merch is this clean.

The gold foil lettering is loud, making this the perfect shirt for flexing on everybody you see. Pair it with your iciest chain for a dazzling fit.

13. This YG T-shirt

Buy it here.

If you didn't feel comfortable wearing that "Bompton" tee shirt that YG released a while back, maybe this shirt will fill the YG-sized hole in your fashion life.

The design and logo are tastefully subtle. It's not quite gang-neutral—the red stripes probably aren't accidental, but it's not the kind of shirt you'll get in trouble at school for wearing.

The only conceivable downside is that a friend could potentially call you something along the lines of "Where's-Waldo-lookin'-ass," which is kind of dope in its own right. Or, cop the black one instead—you'll be looking fresh either way.

15. This TDE cap

Buy it here.

Perhaps the simplest piece in the TDE merch catalogue, this logo cap is an understated must-cop.

Whether this is your first hat that's not a 59FIFTY or you're a certified dad-hat connoisseur, you can't go wrong rocking this humble six-panel. Grab it in black, blue, or red.

18. This ANTWON hat

19. This Wiki lyric booklet

Buy it here.

Remember when CDs used to come packed with fold-up lyric booklets? Wiki is reliving those papery times with this handwritten, spiral-bound book of all his lyrics. Snag yours quick: only 100 copies—each editioned and signed by Wiki himself—will be made.

21. This Bruiser Brigade T-shirt

Buy it here.

Everything in the Bruiser Shop is sick, but this ZelooperZ tee features some of the year's best cover art. But fair warning: Bothic is an album that can inspire a lot of passionate fandom, so don't be surprised if you're beset by kindred spirits.

Whether you want to rep a specific member or the Brigade as a whole, there is something for everybody here. Shop with confidence.

23. This 1-800-Dinosaur tote

26. This FKA twigs T-shirt

Buy it here.

You might want to wait until fall to get the awesome FKA twigs jacket, but this simple white tee is perfect for summer '16. So far, twigs has had a pretty quiet 2016, but she has dropped one of our favorite songs of the year so far, and while so many new artists come and go, twigs is an artist with a long career ahead of her, so this shirt should get plenty of use.

28. This Grimes T-shirt

Buy it here.

Grimes' Art Angels was one of our favorite albums of 2015, and halfway into 2016, it's still in heavy rotation. While she's an amazing artist who producers all her own music and has shown steady evolution throughout her career, she's also a great visual artist, and her eye for cool designs translates into some great merch. See more of it at the official Grimes store.
