The “Over Here” video was shot in various places across New York City, the video’s locales include Central Park to 5 Ptz (Famous Graffti Building) in Queens, and Williamsburg (Sweatshop Studios). “Over Here” focuses on the story of a man striving beyond all odds to make his dreams a reality and achieving his goals. He wants the American Dream, and won’t let anything stop him.
Studio43’s artist Gordo Brega of Washington, DC released his new album “M.W.A” (Migos with Attitude) last month and it is creating a significant buzz around the DC metro area. Gordo Brega is bringing something unique to the DMV hip hop scene, because he is a Latino rapper that really wants to show the world his wonderful talent as a Latino rapper. Gordo Brega’s style is hard core with a Latino flavor and I really love his new album and I look forward to great things from Gordo Brega and entire Studio43 team.
