David Walters live @Only The Brave Block Party by Diesel, Paris

Concert information

This is how a block party is supposed to be. Great acts, a good vibe, and people joining for the love of HIP-HOP!
Common's performance at Only The Brave Block Party in Paris was short but INTENSE! All ingredients were there and he really did the job to get the crowd pumped: from crowd surfing to flirting with girls on stage, Common turned it out, simply put.
