G5P

Last we caught up with the group G5P- that consists of artists/ brothers TF and ANT they had just released their Red Bandana mixtape volume one. Since then they have generated a huge street buzz due to the success of not only their mixtape but also their following and stage shows. Bottom line is if you see G5P on the bill for a show you know it’s going to be a packed house.  The energy they demonstrate in their live shows is comparable to that of an M.O.P. or Busta Rhymes performance. Now that their second mixtape is just about complete and about ready to drop, we took the time to see what they’ve been up to…

Tell us about some places you’ve performed and who you’ve opened up for?

TF: We’ve performed at Tight Rack, Coco’s, Club Envy, and opened for Ron Browz, 5heek Louche, Jadaki55 and lot5 of local event5.
