#StudioFun with My Sis @missymisdemeanorelliott … #SoGoneChallenge really was dope to us both being that we recorded it in 03 & people still have a special place in their hearts for this record… So I jumped in the booth and recorded my own & then we called @slicktwothree to come and shoot it kinda video like near one of my favorite spots to create in Miss studio… We appreciate the love & honestly I'm forever grateful? #StillTheSameOleMo #Southside #MySisSoLegendary
