Tales from the Ghetto

MK-Ultra digs deep into his vinyl stash for a gritty dose of 1970s Funk and Soul, inspired by Blaxploitation classics like Shaft, Foxy Brown and Superfly. Written by Thomas Oakland and featuring narration by TJ Trueh, who returns after his unforgettable performance in Raunchy Radio. A visceral and cinematic lo-fi journey through the seedy side of life on the mean streets.
