Auburn Avenue was blocked off Saturday night for the grand opening of Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy’s new clothing store, Eight. His new fashion line, 8732, will be sold there, along with other urban fashions. On a telephone keypad, 8732 is code for USDA — the original name Jeezy had in mind for his line. In Jeezy’s lexicon, USDA is an acronym for United Streets and D-Boys of America. Unfortunately, major-level pushers — the United States Department of Agriculture — beat him to it.
