I was at Brooklyn Bowl last night to catch Soul Rebels Brass Band for an amazing night of brass band funk and hip-hop as they’re about to finish a three night stop that featured Big Freedia, Joey Bada$$, Buckshot Shorty, Smif ‘N’ Wesson, Talib Kweli, Rakim and Nigel Hall. Check out some footage that I shot with my iPhone 6s: in the first video you’ll see Talib Kweli, Joey Bada$$ and Big Freedia sharing the stage with the New Orleans brass band; and in the second video you’ll see Buckshot Shorty with Smif ‘N’ Wessun.
As I’ve mentioned countless times on social media, if I rule the world I want to make it a law that all dope emcees need to perform behind a brass band or full orchestra.
