iAfrica... Iceberg Slim - Niggas In London

So i've never really rated this dude, he's never been on my radar. But, with this remix to Jay-Z and Kanye West's mega hit "Niggas in Paris", Iceberg Slim has made his case to me. On his refix which he calls "Niggas in London" he does not exactly nail it out of the park, but his delivery coupled with the amazing video by A D.I.S Guise Film, has me impressed enough to pay attention to the next thing he brings out.
