Last week rapper Belly participated in Frosh week activities by headlining a sold out show at Humber College. With Lil Jon as the official DJ of the event, Belly killed his set leaving fans chanting his name before and after the show.

For the first time on stage, Belly debuted his next single “_I Drink I Smoke_” featuring Snoop Dogg. He’s preparing to release the single in the next few weeks so stay tuned for the audio. The video, which is in the process of being wrapped up was shot in Amsterdam where Snoop flew down to join Belly for the filming.

Please check out the video from the performance below. Would love if you could post.
