The Old Money Crew have put together an audio/visual projects giving props to some of the people that inspire them.

Izza Kizza teams up for David Banner for this offering off of The Wizard of Iz, coming soon. Not my favorite Izza Kizza joint. I’ve come to throw expectations out the window with Izza Kizza songs, this one, however is kind of what I expected…sigh…Check it out below, as well as our Izza Kizza Freestyle...

Some Melanie Fiona ish just hit my mailbox. Check out the video below taken from her recent NYC showcase, the one we told you about here in her RH First Look…
