HIT LIST Presents: Guerrilla Republik
The Crew Royalty Chronicles connected with G-REP on a foggy Monday morning in Atlanta, Georgia where Rabb Love the Creator of Guerrilla Republik was breaking down the series Boardwalk Empire. “Brothers let business effect their personal life.” “What I recognized in this series is other Nationalities do business and don’t deal with emotions.” “They have mastered the statement that most use as a figure of speech: It’s BUSINESS not personal and to the untrained eye one would think it’s a movie, but they’re really dropping jewels.” Rabb Love
