DENVER -- (SPW) --

Top shelf cannabis brand Cherry has launched a business and marketing partnership with N.O.R.E., the legendary hip hop artist, film/TV actor and entertainment entrepreneur whose list of Billboard busting chart toppers include Banned From TV and Superthug, among many others. To celebrate the new relationship, Cherry has developed and will be releasing a new premium cannabis strain dubbed Superthug OG, which will be on retail shelves later this month. 

“N.O.R.E. is a hip hop hero, media mogul and cultural revolutionary,” said Anthony Scotti, co-founder & co-creator, Cherry. “No surprise he decided to jump into the cannabis market, the most revolutionary, rapidly growing industry on the planet. And no surprise he chose to work exclusively with Cherry for Superthug OG. We are not only leaders in this fast moving business, we also are the purest craft cannabis brand in the market. N.O.R.E. will be Cherry’s spokesman and brand ambassador, and he also will be involved in developing new products and releasing them into the marketplace. This is truly the beginning of a beautiful relationship.” 

“What Hennessey is to cognac, Cherry is to cannabis. It is the cherry on top of the cake!” said N.O.R.E. “Seriously, Cherry is dank – the smoothest, the sweetest, the freshest cannabis money can buy. This flower blows away all the competition. They don’t call it cherry for nothin’. My cannabis brand of choice. I am stoked to be working with the Cherry squad. I will be involved in all aspects of the business from Cherry media shout-outs to product development and of course quality control. I will be taste-tester in chief. The buck and the bud stops right here!”

N.O.R.E will be announcing and discussing his new partnership with Cherry on his popular podcast Drink Champs, which regularly features interviews with top sports figures, other hip hop legends and cultural icons including Nas, Fat Joe, Wu Tang Clan, Lil Wayne, Marlon Wayans, 50 Cent, Puff Daddy and many others. The Cherry announcement will take place during Drink Champ episodes leading up to and during Super Bowl LIV.
