What an amazing weekend it has been fro Twin Cities rapper Mally and producer The Sundance Kid. Up top we have the very first music video from Mally for his track “The Renaissance.” It turned out fantastic! More to come!

In other news, Mally shut down Soundset with a killer performance on the Fifth Element stage this past Sunday. Fans flocked to Mally’s booth for t-shirts, stickers and CDs all day long.

Perhaps the biggest news of the day is when Slug of Atmosphere hit the stage in Mally & The Sundance Kid t-shirt designed by The Airtime Collection. Talk about an incredible way to top off an already memorable day! T-shirts sold out for now.
