This rare footage surfaced recently thanks to FlpiLife TV.

Taken at the end of November in 2010, it was during Genesis Elijah’s album launch with the Krate Krusaders for “Before I Was Famous”.

Though there were blizzard conditions outside The Gramaphone in London’s Shoreditch, there was a healthy turnout as the hiphop community gave its full support.

It was also good to see so many artists out supporting, and this cypher includes Genesis Elijah, Big Cakes, Logic, Terra, Ti2bs, Ruthless, Iron Braydz and a few other familar faces
