Music Monday this week comes to you by way of the good city of Brooklyn and the 9-piece eclectic hip hop live band, Phony Ppl. The group describe themsleves as a rap crew, songwriting/production team, a live band and just a group of friends who love to make music and this dynamic is obvious when you see them interact with each other or perform on stage. Consisting of nine members, with Dyme-a-Duzin and PJ handling the vocals along with Elbee Thrie who also plays keys alongside Aja Grant.

Amos graphics were always strong, and its a pity they went the way they did, as i reckon there would be a few more fans buying into the strong graphics, well thought i'd show my favourite 5, and if you get the time pop over to the site to view the full range (whats left) of our Amos Toys .
