Konan & Krept - Otis

A You Tube sensational over night with over 2 millions views here is the hilarious video remake of Jay Z and Kanye West's 'Otis'.  This could give Rebecca Black's 'Friday' a run for its money - I'll let the video do the talking.




Akala Spitting Fire in the Booth

The face of T4's street dance summer advert Akala (Ms Dynamite's lil bro) is here and spitting fire in the booth.  What do you think - is Akala spitting hard bars and knowledge?  Or is he just preaching and no one wants to hear it?
