Black Thought On Peanut Live 215

Tuesday, June 12 2012 10:39 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Peanut Live 215 is one of the funniest series on the web. The show revolves around Peanut, a gun-toting, foul-mouthed puppet from Philly. On this episode, he catches up with Black Thought and The Wurx in the studio. Real puppet shit. Ha!

¡MAYDAY!’s new album, Take Me To Your Leader is in stores now, but to blow things up a little more, they recruit a pretty dope lineup of MC’s for the official remix to their new single. Pretty explosive to say the least.
