Russell Athletic: the reprise!

LARussell & P-Lo - Lil' Lad (Unimpressed)
(From Majorly Independent EP; 2024)



You already know I've been waitin' on a video to do this choon justice. LARussell got Funky Grampa from the Give Me A Beat video to pop, lock and dumb-knock it again. Turns out Funky Grampa is an old skool Electric Boogaloo dancer called OG Mike Chaos who has previous form for strutting his stuff to classic P-Lo productions. If the BBC ever accept my pitch for a Strictly Turf Dancing TV show then OG Mike Chaos needs to be a contestant.


When I've been to Oakland it seems like there's an old white bloke in a cap and an M-65 jacket on every block. Mans are in da streetz like black & white Nike Dunks.

You probably have seen the video but I always liked this turfing in the rain video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRRnAhmB58&t=116s

I only wish to be able to cope with rain as well as they do.
