Each shirt has a hang-tag printed with a URL and a unique code allowing the purchaser to download the music from the album.

The shirt is produced by clothing label LnA, Downtown Music and Invisble DJ and will released on July 7 priced at $39.

'The Ecstatic' will be released on August 24 in the UK, and is the first from Mos Def since 2006's 'True Magic'.

What the fuck is going to stop people from just memorizing/writing down the code and downloading the album for free? (other than the fact that itd just be easier to outright steal it normally? I just dont see any point in this...
