Documentary : LA Is My Playground
Oftentimes we see an artist "blow" and we don't know their whole story. "LA Is My Playground" is something I think every artist on the "come up" should watch. Check it out!
Snynopsis:
“LA is MY Playground” is a short film about the subculture of burgeoning LA Hip-Hop acts starring Nipsey Hu$$le, DOM Kennedy & Pac Div (with a special guest appearance by David Banner). The film captures a once in a lifetime experience of these artists on their rise to stardom. Each artist has a song in the film that directly relates to LA; Showtime-DOM Kennedy, The Mayor-Pac Div, Hometown-Nipsey Hu$$le, demonstrating different places in their career.
