French Montana feat Fat Joe + Show TuFli feat Vado

Peep these videos on Miss Info's page. The first video is by French Montana featuring Fat Joe. I found this one dope is because they have a lot of shots of popular places in the Bronx. What caught my attention was the shot of Crotona Park where the Honduran/Central American Parade is held every September and also known to be a main meeting ground for the Garifuna community. Also, there was a shot of the Happy Land Social Club and Fat Joe even says a line about the club. Happy Land was a club mostly frequented by Garifuna immigrants that burned down because a jealous boyfriend through a cocktail bomb through the front because he was mad at his girlfriend who worked the door.

The second video is by Show TuFli and Vado. You already I been bumping Vado heavy. Don't forget to cop the
Slime Flu album next week.

Bless.

Bartnedaz

I remember seeing this video back in 2007 and being like, "Dag!" Having done amateur boxing for 3 years and serving in the U.S. Army for 4 years; I always believed that one does not need a gym to get Hard Body. This video speaks for itself. Bless!

R.I.P. Kazzabe Agrupacion & Chicas Zamba

So this morning mi Tia Nanda asked if I had heard about the tragic bus accident that occurred in between Progreso and Tela Honduras to nights ago in which members of Kazzabe Agrupacion & Chicas Zambat were involved. I told her know. Truth be told, I have been dumb sick with stomach flu the past 5 days and out of commission I can't front, the news hit me kind of hard. One, I have Kazzabe in concert mad times. I was even on a plane with them in 2001 from Houston to San Pedro Sula in route to attend my first Carnaval in La Ceiba. God bless the souls of the deceased and may they rest in peace. Bellow is a video that Teofilo Colon posted on his blog. Bendiciones.

BET Cypher: Vado x Fonzworth Bentley x DJ Premier x Rey Chesta x Nick Javas x Reena Major x Laws

Glad to see BET still keeping the cyphers as a part of their annual Hip Hop Awards. All I'ma say is everyone that spit on here had me jumping out of my chair. Beats and lyrics. One time for all those still moving the culture forward. Bless!
