Adding Extra Flavor

Once rappers make their money from their music, they don't always stick to just rapping—but sometimes they should. There have been a few successful artists who took a stab at entrepreneurship. Dr. Dre's immensely successful headphone line, Beats by Dre, and Jay-Z's clothing line Rocawear are a couple examples. However, there are plenty of musicians who fail miserably when they attempt to stray from making music.

Hip-hop artist Flavor Flav is hopping on the bandwagon and trying to make money off of something other than his music. Flav announced that he is in the works of releasing his own line of alcohol. The line, called "Le Flav Spirits," will involve various flavors of vodka including grape, sweet tea, bubblegum, berry, cherry and olive. He also intends to release champagne as well that will be called "Chateaux Le Flav" and "Le Flav Cognac."

Flavor Flav's ambitions don't stop at alcohol; he also aspires to open a fried chicken franchise. The franchise will go by the name of FFC, short for Flav's Fried Chicken. Maybe KFC's healthy intention of changing to Kentucky "Grilled" Chicken sparked Flav's inspiration to open his own fried chicken franchise. With Flav's product goals it seems like he sure knows how to throw a party — with fried chicken and alcohol, what more can you ask for?
