Supa Bwe (Ft. Twista) • "Princess Kaguya (Remix)"

Yesterday was a hectic day for the city of Chicago. We lost D-Rose, but we did get some new music from Supa. While Supa continues to create a following for his brand and new group "Fight Me" with Ug Vavy and Shepard Hues, he debuted a brand new song (kind of). Supa links up with Chicago’s Westside lyrical assassin Twista to drop the remix to "Princess Kaguya", produced by ZenZan. Every time Twista and Supa link up, they deliver heat. This is one you want to sit back and cruise to, check it out below.
