Unsigned Rappers Raise Money on Kickstarter to Film Music Video in North Korea
Only found out it was a country recently, raised $10,000+ to go
Pacman and Peso have never travelled much beyond the poor suburb of Washington DC where they live. But after a successful internet fundraising drive, the unsigned hip-hop duo will next Saturday embark on a trip, to shoot a video they hope will jumpstart their career, with an unlikely destination – North Korea.
After raising $10,400 from their Kickstarter campaign, the pair will first fly to China and then on to Pyongyang, where they plan to film songs such as "God Bless Amerika" on a party bus.
