Mississippi is famous for its cotton ... but your favorite t-shirt? It's probably sourced from China or India. In fact, very few shirts today are made from 100% Mississippi-grown cotton. WE HAVE SOME IN STOCK! Our short-sleeve black Broke & Hungry Records t-shirt features our logo on the front and tagline on the back: "This Ain't No Way to Make a Living." Quantities and sizes are extremely limited (S - XL only) so snap yours up today. No telling when (or if) we'll be able to get more of these.

No label today is more committed to promoting Mississippi than Broke & Hungry Records. Now we’re taking it a step further by offering a black short-sleeved t-shirt made EXCLUSIVELY from cotton grown in the Mississippi Delta!
