STIK FIGA | Pardon The Interruption | Official Video
"The open mic has been proving ground for young performers for decades, regardless of genre. For me it created a space to express myself in one of the most freeing ways, always hoping to grab a new ear or two. This particular acapella is one I've performed locally for a number of years, and now with the upcoming release of this new project I can share with everyone what folks in my backyard have always known." - Stik Figa
Directed by Joshua Browning
