Grew up in MD... and go-go is in my veins. People outside the DMV don't realize that this music comes from deep in the soul of DC. You can't touch that... and that's why go-go will never die.
Love it when that audio is clear like that. Grew up in the DMV and even tho I'm in Cali now, I can't get the DC gogo out of my soul. This brings back the memories.
I am 32, been listening to back since I was 12-13, since there begining. As long as Back keep crankin that real authntic GO-GO they will continue to be the best. How many bands still have just about all there original members. Back can do a show and play for 5 hours and you won't here the same song twice, and they all will crank...Hold It Sauce, UH!!!
BYB for life ... I know you're busy, but I must intercede, Girl I know I don't deserve you, But still I do believe that... These are the greatest musicians ever. I remember LOS and Marcus Harrell composing melodies in the apartment (3500) before BYB blew up. Witness true musical genius first hand. BYB forever!!
UPT....we started the swag in the early 90's. Then EVERYBODY followed. That's real. We were the 1st to rock Jordan's and $160 Nikes (a week before they came out), white tee's, straight leg denim and fresh fitteds. For the past 10 years it's been the norm. Wale and the youth movement, you're welcome.
to answer some of yall questions .... i put the wrong date on the video by mistake ...thas from nov 19th 2001 from michelle wrights TV show ..mhz urban ..and on the drums thas Ikan from OP tribe ..buggy was out of town
Haha! Slim Charles in the house. He's like the giant version of Flavor Flav -- only without the clock ;) BYB dropped a hot version of Outkast Elevators w/ with that one Pac jam mixed in: My adversaries crumble when we rumble it's a catastrophy Anybody know where that one's at?
@terrhia123 babes I know that the song came from byb Trust and believe I was going to see backyard since the early 90's. I am from dc, 31 years. Ain't nothing you can't tell me about the city.
yea bruce left back in 1998 .. he got saved ... he has been playin in gospel bands recently .. but he got on with BYB for G bday last year ... but to be honest .. BYB has always been a tom heavy band .. they jus cranked congos and toms ...but far back as 1991 .. BYB was always a 50/50 congo tom band

I was born this day. No wonder this my favorite byb song!!😂
Slim Charles really was in a band! holy shit!
Na he wasn’t just in a band he one of the legends in these parts
Before the Wire he was Big G!
