Lyfted Farms, a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) signed an exciting co-branding deal with hugely popular hip hop personality DJ EFN today.
DJ EFN is the co-host of "Drink Champs", one of the top music podcasts that boasts over 5 million monthly views and downloads on Youtube and iHeartRadio, as well as syndication on Revolt, a digital cable television network founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs, that enjoys 20 million viewers per month. Drink Champs is popular for its relaxed, talk-show style format wherein famous hip hop legends like 50 Cent and Rick Ross come on, consume drinks, and share stories of the old and new days of hip-hop.
Considered a prolific pioneer of the 1990's Miami hip hop scene, DJ EFN has produced over 42 volumes of his "Crazy Hood mixtapes", featuring famous hip hop artists such as Outkast, Redman, Capone-N-Noreaga, KRS-One, Wu-Tang Clan, Naughty by Nature, Ja Rule, Sean Paul, Joe Budden, Lil Jon, Ghostface Killah, Keith Murray, David Banner and many more.
Lyfted Farms is creating an exclusive strain for DJ EFN branded premium exotic flower products in a 50/50 co-branding deal.
"DJ EFN is an industry legend who has earned a loyal following and powerful relationships in his over 3 decades of music production and entrepreneurship," said Shaun Serpa, Marketing Manager for Lyfted Farms. "This deal is a win-win. DJ EFN gets to launch his cannabis brand with the best premium exotic indoor cannabis on the market, and Lyfted gets to introduce its strains to a new market of loyal cannabis enthusiasts."
The new cannabis brand will be widely promoted and enjoy product placement on DJ EFN's platforms which include Drink Champs, Smoke Champs, the Coming Home documentary series and more.
"Partnering with authentic personalities with huge followings like DJ EFN is one very important pillar in our marketing strategy," said Mr. Serpa. "These are partnerships of deep mutual respect for roots based in underground cultures that are now becoming mainstream. Our consumers are connoisseurs and loyalists who recognize the difference between fly-by-night brands capitalizing on trends vs. brands who have been in cannabis and hip hop since Day One. That loyalty and respect is priceless and is something we place the utmost value on."
