Been waiting on this for a minute. It's the tour documentary for the We B-Girlz European tour last year. I love being able to hear new verses from Shante & Bahamadia.

The dude Travis posted this on his recent "Please Listen To My Demo" series. How come I never heard of this before? I'm a Kid N Play fan but this is kind of crazy to me.

I happen to like it but I doubt we would have accepted it had it ever been officially released.
