Daughter Brite & The Soda Pop Mikes - Tuff Tuff Kids

I wonder how many rapping Peorians don't know about this group.  They are legends if you ask me.  As far as I know they're the first rappers from here with an album with actual distribution.  They were signed to, of all people, Luke Skyyywalker records & this video got played on Rap City & Video Soul (you're old if you know what Video Soul is).  It probably got play on The Box too but we were too lame to have The Box around here.

If you're not a local this group consists of a guy known as Soda Pop Mike & his kids.

After all these years I still get disappointed when at the end the kid is acting like he's from Chicago when I remember they had that house over there by Glen Oak Park.

Seeing this video now (today's the first time in eons I've seen it) I'm also disappointed in how much the DJ was acting for the camera.  That's standard fare for old rap videos though.

Have you seen the new video for Take The Guns From Your Sons?  The song is like 15 years old now but this video is new.  For the non locals, this is the dad from the video above.
