Vega New Year's Eve 2011

  New Year's Eve came and went over a month and a half ago, but it's never to late to put out some Rhymesayers' related content.

  In association with Vega Productions and Rhymesayers Entertainment, the Vega New Year's Eve event was hosted at the Marriott City Center in downtown Minneapolis and featured an exciting line-up of artists. To highlight the night and to start 2011 off right - Brother Ali took the stage as the ball dropped and delivered an exceptional performance that ignited the crowd.

  Don't just take my word for it, but watch the event recap video and Brother Ali's live performance of his single 'Games'. Additional filming/editing credits to Scott Adkins, Marcos Juarez-Gosselin and Evan Ryan.
