BRKF$T Club (UPDATE)
Monday, April 23, 2012 at 10:53AM This is currently the #1 independent hip hop song on DJ Booth so head on over and watch the video again, listen to the MP3, and cast a vote of what you think of the song. We're currently beating songs from Ab-Soul of TDE, a song from Yelawolf collaborator Rittz, and a song featuring that guy named Drake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fellowship. This is the first song to feature all the members of the 2008ighties crew on a single track. The rappers make up the group BRKF$T Club and with Sani on the production it makes it a true 2008ighties song. Its dope as fuck, so don't be afraid to press play.

Trayvon Martin / A Nigger In Northface / Yachtzee
Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 03:15PM Some of you folks may remember the Digital Freshness event Legit performed at a couple weeks back. We had a really great turn out. (Shouts to Ruby Hornet and Jugrnaut) After the performance, Mitchell Wenkus (Who also directed the Danny Ocean video) caught up with Legit to ask him about his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin situation, and also the challenge of succeeding commercially with conscious music. Video is below, and as an added bonus, you can also find footage from the Digital Freshness show of Legit performing Yachtzee. Enjoy

A NIGGER IN NORTHFACE (Video) (Updated)
Friday, December 2, 2011 at 07:19PM I felt it was necessary to post a HUGE thank you to everyone that has watched the video. When we were filming this we had high hopes for what it could become but to be completely honest we did not expect anything close to the response that it has gotten so far. The video released on December 2nd and so far we have 80,000+ views on youtube and 175,000 views on World Star Hip Hop. We've also been featured on The Source, HipHopDx, 2dopeBoyz, ThisIs50, GoWhereHipHop, FakeShoreDrive, Ruby Hornet, ILLRoots, Nah Right, and countless other tumblr's and personal blogs. We're not close to being done promoting this video, we have a lot of stuff coming up as a result of the response to "Nigger In Northface" and will be telling you all about it soon. Once again, thank you to everyone who has watched the video, shared it online, and showed your friends, we truly appreciate all the support.
Enjoy
