Posted October 26, 2011 by Cacy Forgenie for Global Grind Staff

Hip-hop legends the Beastie Boys bring their white boy swag to a t-shirt collaboration with Japanese brand BAPE and while it may come at a hefty price, it's all for a good cause.

Designed to raise funds and awareness about the devastating tsunami that hit Japan early this year, this Mike Mills designed tee will set you back $250 if you desire to buy it.

The shirt features a drawing of legendary emcees Ad-Rock, M.C.A. and Mike D and will go on sale on November 5.

The Beasties released this statement explaining why they got on board with the relief effort:

"The people of Japan have given Beastie Boys so much love and appreciation throughout the years, that we want to give back and help them, in some way, get through the devastation they've been through."

BAPE, aka A Bathing Ape, is a streetware and lifestyle brand founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1993.
