BRAINBANDITS’ Philly syndicate was out at the TLA last week to catch Trinidad James show, which was put on by the homies at Babylon Cartel. Get a first-hand look at the show recap. Some hype shit for your Sunday afternoon. Shot & Edited by RDBN (@RDBNBEATS)

The BRAINBANDITS team was on hand for Exquire’s set at the Mad Decent Block Party on August 5 in Williamsburg. This dude crowd-surfed. Security was tight on cameras + press passes so we had to shoot some guerilla shit. Experience the show through the eyes of the audience, and if you were there, relive some memories.
