DJ Mr. Len, one of the day’s host DJ’s, hit the stage with El-Producto and they performed the Company Flow classic Vital Nerve…

Lastly, I gotta give a shout to my people at Guerilla Union and Murs for pulling off such a flawless event. Be sure to check out the insane line up for Rock The Bells this summer and be on the look out for the upcoming Paid Dues Tour.
