Teklife affiliates DJ Lucky and DJ Manny have linked up for a new single and video. You can check out 'WAR' below.
The clip features The Era, a celebrated Chicago footwork dance crew. The collective - founded by Chief Manny, Litebulb, Steelo, Dempsey, and DJ Jody Breeze - have previously performed at institutions including London's Barbican and SXSW.
The release comes just months after DJ Lucky was hit by a jeep travelling at 45 miles per hour, suffering knee, back and head injuries. A fundraiser is ongoing to pay for rehabilitation and treatment costs.
