Brooklyn Brawl. Super Middleweight Champion
So proud of Omowale. We go back some years as friends and comrades by way of G.A.ME. Today he is the Super middleweight champion of Brooklyn Brawl. Congratulations O!
“Swollen hand, bloody nose, shoulder injury, etc. Still none happier than me for being knocked down to come back and win unanimously. I teach perseverance because I live it. This is for all the fighters in and out of the ring. #dontgiveup” Omowale

EMJAE Feat. DAY – SWAGG ON
Directed and Edited by D’Alia Salvatore

First, Emjae shared his first professional video with his closest peers, Day and Prestige in a heavily favored “Dream On” music video. Now he follows up with “Swagg On” Featuring Day a version from Soulja Boyz song “Turn my Swag On”. Emjae and Day’s Chemistry together is unparalleled and gives us this sound that you all came to love today. Swooop Gang Nation started by Day embraced Emjae to be apart of the movement as they both give there 100% as solo artist but go even harder when collaborating together. This video showcases different types of swag. Everyone has there own swag, swag meaning style, and this video gives them a chance to express it in their own way. The next video will feature Emjae’s first single as “Dream On” and “Swagg On” are songs to get you warmed up to what is to come. We hope you enjoy…… #Swooop! Special thanks goes out to Day, he’s been like a brother to Emjae and a continued influence, Thanks to D’Alia Salvatore and his team, great producer of both “Dream On” and “Swagg On”. Thanks to ABDC’s Rhythm City’s Poppin Loz for being in the video, Japan’s Own RnB singer Mio Soul, Model Kayla Tilton, Model and Belly Dancer Lucy Travaglino, Ravage the Mecca Godzilla, and the rest of the Swooop Gang Nation. Much love and Enjoy!
