3 Titans "College" b/w "The Life of a Scholar"

OUT NOW! Get it on 45 or .mp3 and watch them record "College" at Dunham Studios!

The 3 Titans, Khalil Jackson, Jorden Plaines, and Dallas Ifill, are rhythmically gifted fifth-graders with their sights set on higher education. On their debut for Dunham Records, College b/w Life of a Scholar, the precocious eleven-year-olds trade rhymes about the benefits of going to college and the determination it takes to get there over two sides of old-school, hard-as-nails (and refreshingly sample-free) beats provided by the notorious Menahan Street Band.
