With his lethal pen and tongue inspired by his experiences, he's managed to cultivate a sense of advocacy in his bars for over 20 years. Now, the Queens MC is combining his love of fashion and social awareness to raise money for an extraordinary cause.

Nas will be releasing Kneeling Santa sweaters just in time for the holiday season on HSTRY. The site has received a lot of hits lately, selling colorful merchandise, exclusively for fans of the MC and the culture. Proceeds from the sweater sells will be donated to the Center for Court Innovation. A publicly-funded and award-winning organization, the CCI advocates for justice reform and makes a impact within the community by "by designing and implementing operating programs, performing original research, and providing reformers around the world with the tools they need to launch new strategies."

The sweaters, available in green, red and black, are $45 each. They will be sold while supplies last.
