Wu-Tang’s Raekwon the Chef and The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne Tha God have officially entered the cannabis game, and they’re bringing it straight to Newark’s iconic Four Corners. Teaming up with civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers and entrepreneur Jedd Canty, the new Hashstoria dispensary at 799-805 Broad Street is more than a retail spot—it’s a cultural landmark ready to shift the city’s cannabis landscape and make a statement.
Hashstoria: Where Culture Meets Cannabis
Hashstoria is about more than products; it’s a movement. “We’re not just normalizing cannabis here,” Raekwon says. “We’re using it as a tool to uplift our people and bring back a sense of pride and connection to Newark.” From its thoughtfully designed interior, featuring work by local artists, to its planned consumption lounge set to open next year, Hashstoria is carving out a space that’s deeply rooted in Newark’s spirit.
Grand Opening with Hip-Hop Energy
The grand opening on November 13 will bring the full hip-hop energy to downtown Newark with a lineup that includes Raekwon, Charlamagne, Bakari Sellers, and local officials. The ribbon-cutting, live DJ, food trucks, and exclusive deals will turn the day into a true community celebration. Raekwon and Charlamagne are inviting the city to celebrate a space that honors Newark’s past while pushing its future forward.
Exclusive App Perks and a Chance to See Raekwon Live
As a nod to their fans, Hashstoria is offering something special: download the Hashstoria app, and you’ll automatically enter for a chance to win tickets to an exclusive Raekwon performance. The app also hooks you up with deals and rewards, making every trip to Hashstoria an experience.
Building Opportunity and Equity in Newark
With New Jersey’s cannabis market projected to surpass $1 billion, Raekwon, Charlamagne, and their team are committed to ensuring Newark benefits from the industry’s growth. Bakari Sellers emphasizes that Hashstoria is here to create more than profits—it’s about creating opportunities for Newark residents and giving back. Hashstoria’s commitment to social equity and local partnerships reflects a mission to do cannabis differently, centered on community.
A Legacy in the Making
Hashstoria is ready to make waves in Newark, setting the bar for what a cannabis business can be when it’s built with culture, community, and vision. Raekwon and Charlamagne are bringing a whole new vibe to the cannabis scene, proving that hip-hop’s influence goes way beyond music.
