Every time east-Vancouver rap duo The Global Syndicate visit Lethbridge, the crowd gets crazier.
“ It was a good show,” observed Lala of their Nov. 5 show with D12’s Bizaare and west coast rap veteran Xzibit, who had several hundred audience members pumped up and frothing in front of the stage at Bully’s Entertainment Centre to rabid beats and thundering basslines, and people who seemed to be enjoying themselves, other than the ones who wanted to fight.
“It’s always a good time,” added Dough-P noting things have come a long way for the duo since signing a management deal with Black Phoenix, after a “homey” discovered them performing on the street and selling their mix-tape “Van cities’ Best Kept Secret.
The next thing they knew they were touring the country with heavy hitters like D12 and Rae-Kwon, and Xzibit on this tour.
“Every time we come here, the crowd gets more crazy,” he added.
Lala noted this fast ride upwards has been a learning experience for the duo, who are enjoying the trip and credit a lot to Black Phoenix for guiding them on their way.
“We were on the street selling our tape, and now we’re touring with Raekwon and D12,” Lala enthused adding touring with the veterans means they are able to improve their own game every tour.
