Raleigh, NC’s Kooley High and my favorite kool kids present a short documentary along with professional skateboarder Dan Murphy on the day of the release for the Skate video “YOUGOTTAGETTHAT!”. If you’re new to the Kooley sound, the group consists of emcees Tab-One, Foolery, Rapsody (JAMLA), and Charlie Smarts, Sinopsis (the group’s producer), and DJ…
