   About Clean Guns: making big moves behind closed doors

THE STORY:

CLEAN GUNS is comprised of Nico the Beast , a thoughtful lyricist with a knack for intricate and layered rhymes in the vein of Big Pun and the GZA of Wu-Tang Clan, and Zilla Rocca , an MC/producer heavily influenced by the vivid story-telling skills of Nas and the eccentric slang and abstract musings of Ghostface Killah and Aesop Rock.

Boasting an impressive live set full of energy and focused communication with the audience, Clean Guns have begun making a name for themselves throughout Philadelphia and college radio. Thanks to the debut album "Sometimes There is Trouble" and the new mixtape "Living in Harmony", Clean Guns has kept the fans, the streets, the live crowds and the internet buzzing.

Yo !!! koi d'neuf? tout se passe bien pour toi?

Je viens t'annoncer la mise en ligne d'un nouveau son.
Il s'agit d'un remix d'un de mes titres par DEDOU, un très bon beatmaker. On retrouve sur le morceau les 14 rappeurs et rappeuses que tu vois défiler ci-dessous.

L'original par NODEY (Enigmatik, Gorah, 25G, Scred Connexion...) est aussi en écoute...dis-moi quelle version tu préfères.

Des nouveaux sons et un clip ne devraient pas tarder à voir le jour...
En attendant, porte-toi bien & bonne écoute!
