EVENT REVIEW: Los Angeles Shows Up to See 03 Greedo One Last Time at Globe Theatre Event

Originally seen on Billboard 6/18/2018

Filled with family and friends, the Globe Theater played host on Friday night (Jun. 15) to what could possibly be Los Angeles MC 03 Greedo’s final performance for a very long time.
