2019 has brought us a whole bunch of new artists and each of them have their
own custom ice. Some have been stolen, others have sent the bench for flashiest and most
outlandish in the game. It's been a great year for music and an even better year for
celebrity jewellers.
Last year we dropped a 3 part series on the best of the best Rappers Chains for 2018.
In them videos we took a look at some custom pieces made for each of the Migos, Lil Uzi
Vert, Lil Yachty, Cardi B, NBA Youngboy and more.
The celebrity jeweller and hip hop community have both seen monumental growth bringing
us some of the most outlandish and expensive pieces to date. Blueface for example took
things in a complet With 2019 coming to a close we start rewinding
the clock looking at some of the best iced out flexes of the past couple months and how
many stacks these rappers have dropped.
What's going on guys? It's your boy Michael McCrudden coming at you with another Top 5
video, this one on Rappers Chains PART 1 for 2019. If you are a fan of these types of videos
let me know by smashing that like button. Let me know who else should be added for Part
2 or Part 3. Also let me know in the comments down below what kind of pendant or chain you
would get for yourself when and if the time comes... I was supposed to be getting the
Before They Were Famous logo from Jimmy Boi.
Jimmy if you are watching this video hit me up in the DM's. Aright, let's get into this
video.

First up in the number 5 spot we got a good ol' Canadian kid, I'm talking about Killy.
He's gotten two different pieces this year. First up we got Gengar Pokemon piece which
was hand delivered.
I love New Yorkers, talk about service. This piece comes with 1,600 diamonds with Rubi's
for eyes. Jeweler Alex Moss posted to IG,
First ever iced out Gengar piece created for my bro @Killy
VVS water, Ruby flooded eyes, and special asher cut stones for the mouth.
Bet you never seen teeth like that before
Killy had this to say about the piece talking with the New York Post:
To most people this is just a Pokémon, but it was a big part of my childhood.
It made me into the person that everyone loves. Plus it looks so f–king nice.
Impossible for me to know what it's worth exactly but estimated prices are between $30
and $100K.
I also saw some headlines stating that his Gengar got snatched but I can confirm this,
what I do know is that he got a new one inspired by Death Note.
Drawing from the Killy's interest in manga/anime, the chain celebrates the Ryuk from the Death
Note series. The character kinda reminds me of Pennywise from IT but obviously an Anime
version. Again designed by Avianne & Co. Some defining design elements include the large
rubies set in the eyes and the heart-shaped diamond earring attachment.
Over on Instagram Avianne & Co captioned it: Geniune VS quality handset diamonds are covering
every millimeter of this piece.
The process behind this work of art was extremely technical and it’s another example of our
standards.
Many are going to try to replicate but we did it first!!
They ain't lying... I saw some knock off pieces on Amazon. No idea what this cost Killy but
some online reports estimate it be worth $50K.
Moving onto number 4 we got Kid Buu. Kid Buu catches a lot of hate but I've met the dude,
or his clone and I got nothing but love for the dude. Can't say that for every Torontonian
though apparently his piece got robbed when he payed the 6ix a visit.
I guess what goes around comes around -
It looks like Kid Buu got his chain back after all – not much is known about the piece.
Just looks like a Cartoon picture of himself. I reached out to Kid Buu in the comments and
he had this to say:
Even if he gets jacked again, the kid can certainly buy a new one with all the money
he's been throwing around.
By now ya'll know the story, the 16 year old turned down a $3 Million dollar record deal
to instead to form his own label under Warner Bros and United Masters titled No Love Ent
so of course he got himself a chain of his new imprint.
Choppa was quick to reply that the dude had copped himself a knock off but then was later
seen in possession of not one, but two No Love Ent chains. I'm not entirely sure what
these cost him but here he is saying 13 K, No Cap.
The kid is only 16 years old so we can imagine he's got a few generation of chains left in
em and will be on a future version of this list in the coming years.
If your looking for Choppa piece for yourself Johnny Dang is selling these Choppa pendants
for 8 stacks.
Next up at number 2 we got Da Baby whose picked up a few iced out pieces over the past year
typically opting for his boy Johnny Dang.
When he first blew up he was rocking his Stewie piece, Justin Beiber had actually bought the
pendant first dropping a reported 25K.
More recentley he's coped his Kirk Chain which is insane with Kirk Links for a chain instead
of the typical Cuban Link. DaBaby was given his new piece while he was on stage at Oakland,
California's Rolling Loud Festival right before he performed his KIRK single "Off The Rip."
Finally we have Da Baby's Billion Dollar Baby Chain he's been sporting for a while now.
No reveal just yet on what this piece cost but cruising Johnny Dang's website similar
pieces are priced at around 22K.
Aright, finally in the number 1 spot we have Drum Roll please, Blueface encrusted Bandana
piece this thing deserves the top spot for plenty of reasons.
When have you ever seen something like that before? I can't imagine it's comfortable but
it's certainly a statement piece. Of course its one of a kind known at the CryptONite
Bandana. The first ever gold and diamond bandana chain ever created by Alex Moss at Avianne
& Co Jewelers. The same people who made him his Benjamin Franklin piece. It's got Sky
blue diamonds with 14k gold and flooded it with 12,300 hand set stones. The unique jewelry
also comes equipped with 130 carats of blue hand-picked diamonds displayed in both round
and pear shapes across the bandana.They hand delivered this piece to Blueface at home and
he seemed pretty impressed.
Symbolically, the piece reflects back on the "Respect My Crypn" rapper’s past and upbringing.
Which brings me back to my original question – what kinda pendant or chain would you
cop foryourself?
I need me that Before They Were Famous logo so Jimmy Boi, there is a reason I left you
off this list today. Get back to me in the DM's. Dude got mad at me for promoting Lil
Tay. His daughter is a star in the making for real. I was meant to do a Before They
Were Famous on her.
Aright guys, I'm gonna wrap up this video. If this one clocks in 50K views I'll follow
it up with a Part 2. To do that I need you guys to leave a comment, hit like, share it
with your friends and I'll see you guys in another video.
