yeah
"Stand United" was produced by Major P (based in Czech Republic). Vocals were written and performed by Teddy Ziggy and Karamanti, respectively. The collaboration was organized by my agent and the video was shot in Prague while I was on tour.
Shooting the video was a lot, and I emphasize, a lot of work! Though you see Teddy wearing a tank top, it was actually freezing cold because this was late November, I think. For my part, I had to change outfits right on that bridge, in the freezing cold, with nothing but a few women to shield me... lol.
On a more serious note, this is hands down one of my favorite songs because of the words that came to life through me, for it. I believe in everything that I say on this record, my only hope is that more of my people would believe it also.
