These brothas are the real deal. Meet them in st pete at the janus w my boy savi, super HUMBLE. Real vibes from real people, dude (lead singer) took off his shirt and gave it to a homeless woman who was eyeing the gear and kinda invading personal space, just showed love and helped a woman in need. Point is, practice what u preach. Thats what these guys are really about. Much love Irie Vibes.
