There they interview promoter Kim Knox about one of NYC’s best parties and all the music, sex and good times that were had over the past 7 years. Also featured are DJ Reborn and singer Sun Singleton, telling us their U People stories.
EPISODE NO. 3: “TRIBECA MOJO” In this episode, Olive and Hanifah ask their viewers to focus on success as they try to drum up some good mojo around U People getting into the Tribeca Film Festival. Gloria Bigelow is back on the streets again, fresh from a successful show in Texas. She talks to fashion designer Maurice Renee and comedian Amy Beckerman about their U People moments. The U People soundtrack guest this week is Shelley Nicole of Shelley Nicole’s BlakBushe. She talks about her song “Black Girls,” which is featured on the U People Soundtrack.
