SAN DIEGO, Calif. –
Gelato Canna Co. (Gelato), the fastest-growing cannabis brand in California and Michigan, announced its yearlong brand partnership with rapper Phix. Phix is a Texas-based rapper who swiftly rose to prominence after the Deer Alcohol Challenge with Dax Shepard helped him amass 1.9M Tik Tok followers and nearly 1M Spotify monthly listeners. The partnership includes product collaborations, music video appearances, a sponsored concert and dedicated social media postings. Phix is the first rapper to officially partner with Gelato as a brand spokesperson.
Having performed during the Gelato-sponsored Hall of Flowers official afterparty, After Dark, in May 2023, Phix and Gelato’s founders, George and Cody Sadler, sparked a friendship that led to talks of an official partnership. Their similar philosophies on cannabis and mutual admiration created the framework for the partnership.
“I was a huge fan of Gelato before performing for After Dark,” said Phix. “Being able to not only form a friendship with George and Cody but to collaborate with them to share my music and spread the word about Gelato to my audience is a dream come true.”
Gelato is also working with Phix collaborating on a limited edition clothing line. While the details of the line are yet to be announced, the collaboration will mark the next era in Gelato’s expansion into offering non-cannabis goods and services. Gelato’s expansion into non-cannabis product categories hopes to align itself with Phix’s success as a music artist as his audience base continues to grow and reach mainstream listeners who are a similar demographic to Gelato’s customers.
“I think Phix is the perfect spokesperson for our brand,” said George. “He’s a true fan of what we do and what we stand for as a brand. This partnership is only the beginning of what we have planned. Having Phix as part of the Gelato family showcases our commitment to the brand’s ethos of fun, welcoming, attainable cannabis products for all.”For more information please visit GelatoCanna.com or Phix’s Tik Tok page here.
