Rap Snacks was formed by James Lindsay, a self-proclaimed “snack food connoisseur” who wanted to mix his love for food and Hip-Hop culture. With the help of family and friends, Lindsay began with the company with $40,000, and after meeting with distributors, he sold 800 cases of Rap Snacks within two hours. Rap Snacks laid low for many years due to issues with producers and the size of its bags. However, Complex reports in 2007, Romeo Miller purchased Rap Snacks from Lindsay, and the brand has grown significantly within the past few years into a $30 million business. Let’s take a look at rappers who have been featured with their own Rap Snacks flavor. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but here are a few noteworthy names.
