Without Money No Family NY Edition
22 02 2012African in New York is here! And I’m also proud to present my first every music video, the NY edition of “Without Money No Family.” I shot and edited it myself, taking some footage from the original clip, I’m happy to see the final result but anxious to hear what people think about it.
Buy African in New York as a partial album on iTunes, and at a few other digital retailers. The full album will be a physical version with a special bonus track available sometime soon!
