Sean Kingston took the world by storm in the Summer of 2007 with his No.1 hit Beautiful Girls and certified platinum self titled debut album.

King, was an International hit, reaching #1 in 19 countries around the world and topping the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks straight. Commonly referred to as Mr. Myspace, Kingston grew his pop star status with not only his unique sound and universal appeal but his popularity on the social networking site Myspace. Sean has logged almost 34 million hits on his myspace page to date. Kingston is not only an accomplished young music artist but is also showing his business prowess with the launch of his own record label, Time is Money Entertainment. Sean Kingston will work together with Yums Supa Throwed designer and legendary Dallas graffiti artist Tex, one of the founding members of Infinity Crew, on his exclusive shoe design. Kingston'ss shoe will be the first design of a new original silhouette Yums will be launching in the Spring of 2009. The new shoe will consist of a blend of Jamaican colors which represents Sean Kingston'ss heritage. The launch of the shoe (Spring 2009) will coincide with the release of Kingston'ss highly anticipated sophomore album Tomorrow.

The companies's unique style has positioned Yums Shoes as THE sneaker of choice throughout the hip-hop nation. Tex says of the deal between Kingston and Yums I'sm excited to work with him. Sean is kinda like a Pop Star with a definite street edge to him. He'ss a great fit for us. JP McDade, CEO of Yums Shoes, adds We could not have signed a better artist to compliment Yums and our current deal with Sean Kingston'ss personal friend Soulja Boy Tell'sem. Yums now has two of the most influential teens in the music game and on the internet. The two friends, Sean Kingston and Soulja Boy Tellem, recently paired up on a new single Yamaha Mama that will be featured on Soulja Boy Tellem'ss sophomore release iSouljaBoyTellem Dec. 16th, 2008.
