The DMX tribute t-shirt produced by YEEZY in collaboration with Balenciaga is believed to have raised over $1 million in proceeds, benefitting the late rapper's family.
The shirt was designed by Demna Gvasalia of Balenciaga and initiated by Yeezy. The longsleeve faded black shirt features an original tribute artwork on the front, as well as DMX's dates of birth and death down the sleeves and "In Loving Memory" printed in white script on the back.
Kanye also contributed to the memorial service held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn this weekend, lending his Sunday Service choir to perform a series of moving songs.

The shirt went on sale priced at $200 and quickly sold out. The sales are said to have totalled over $1 million, with the proceeds benefitting the Simmons family.

The New York Senate have also declared 18th December as “Earl ‘DMX‘ Simmons Day” in honour of the rapper's birthday.
