Seen on 2DBz! Interview with dude from Soul Plane (potentially the worst movie ever but i digress)??? Anyways, she forgot to mention that The Bridge is out here in Canada now also! This footage was captured from Heineken Red Star Soul in Philly.
Courtesy of TGM. Don’t know what year this is (I’m guessing ’90’s or early 00’s) and it’s only one verse each unfortunately but definitely still showcases why these dudes are two of the best freestylers in the city.
Here’s a new mix of “Waving Flag” not available on the actual album. It’s a feel good track that is actually being used for Coca Cola’s Fifa World Cup Campaign!
Husein Madhavji sits down with Tassja Dawn who stars in Famous’ short film Goddess Girl to talk about her role in the project and more! Goddess Girl: The Movie + The Soundtrack starts October 6th at www.goddessgirlmovie.com!
