New Hip Hop 1980's Throwback Movie "Up in the Attic"
Back in the days in the 1980's hip hop era, it was all about peace, love, unity and having fun! All in one epoch of time there was the fusion of black consciousness, hip hop, and drugs. On top of that, teenagers will do what teenagers will do. This movie has a comedic realism along with some serious lessons to be learned. It is the perfect conversation piece for parents and their children as well as educators.

Southern Comfort by Vulenzo and Kamal Supreme AKA Da Ville on http://www.ourstage.com/play/track/YHCRVFHUEIQR Soundclick http://www.soundclick.com/kamalsupreme
Check out the new song “Southern Comfort” Southern Comfort is a smooth mid tempo R&B Soul song about a beautiful girl that Kamal met in a club down south, featuring sensual cool spoken word and hip hop lyrics by Kamal Supreme. Vulenzo is singing and riffing the hook and in the background with his velvet voice which may remind you of the likes of Christopher Williams and James Ingram. They are talking about having a crush on a beautiful southern girl they met in one of the southern cities down south. The Story behind the song: Kamal took a trip from NJ down to the Hopkinsville Kentucky/Nashville Tennessee area and while on vacation, he and his friend Vulenzo went into the studio to finally record a song together. Influenced by the very friendly and beautiful ladies that Kamal met there, the song "Southern Comfort" was a result of their influence.
Soothing raspy voice singing vocals by Vulenzo and smooth hip hop and spoken word flow by Kamal Imani about the ladies that they call southern comfort. The beat has a tight groove that will get you ready to romantically two step with your partner.
