Video: PepeSoup "Pump Tire"

[embed width="560"][/embed]


Pumping tire is a punishment dished out to misbehaving Liberian kids which PepeSoup equate to "jumping up and down like kangaroo" 'til your parents think you've learned your lesson. In this track, Italian producer Cukiman and Liberian born Miss Annie deliver a bumping Afro-house ode to the disciplinary act. The accompanying clip features an array of candidate dance moves for the official " the pump tire" tag. Moustapha Mbengue, who was featured in "PepeSoup Skank," jumps in near the end to spit some Senegalese dopeness. Grab "Pump Tire" and other PepeSoup joints over at their imprint Soupu Music.
