DAVINCI – WHAT YOU FINNA DO [VIDEO]

Anything with “finna” or “fitz” in it, I’m fuckin wit it! The bay is alive & thriving with fresh talent emerging as torch carriers from Honor Roll to Don P to this man right here… DaVinci! First off, shout out to SWTBRDS for having impeccable  taste & great decision making in choosing an artist like DaVinci. The brother has something to say that is in dire need of todays desolate bullshit that gets the attention over such artists. This video aint enough for you I know, so after the J grab you some of the pffffffft in the form of DaVinci!

INTERVIEW: BLU VS GODLeeBarnes

SoulCultureUK touched bases with Blu and Ta’Raach and got to ask Mr. Johnson about the differences in Blu vs. GODLeeBarnes. Very interesting comments made by Blu about the freedom now available to artists in music whilst still maintaining a steady stream of revenue in the process.
