2004 BARBERSHOP BATTLE (Hollowman, Durk, Jay Bezel, Cyssero, GP, KC, Major Lead, and more)

Back in 2004 I was invited to a barbershop in Philly to capture a battle that would be added to the Philly rap history timeline. There were tons of rappers who showed up including many of the members of the TEAM A rap group (Hollowman, Sicko, Gun Play, KC, Cyssero, Nitro, etc). Many others including Durk, Angel Dust, Major Lead, Jay Bezel, and tons more. One of the highlights was the amazingly hilarious and memorable off the top freestyle of DURK vs ANGEL (female MC who was Hott), also watching TEAM A’s Hollowman lock down the room with his unique style of aggression, word play, and charisma. Enjoy this classic and SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL FOR DAILY UPLOADS AND MORE HISTORY.
