White House Band's "#Wasup!” Video Gets Banned From MTV, Debut Single Playing On 40 College Radios

The White House Band is hitting a major roadblock for the promotion of its newest music video “Wasup!” (Directed by Kristopher Rey Talley). The music video has been banned from channels within the MTV networks for its roughness, edginess and the urban terrorism references stirring up some controversy.

“We were trying to match up the song’s intensity with visuals, but I guess it was too intense for MTV!”, David E Beats, the only official member of The White House Band shared.

The music video is made available via Youtube

Fortunately, the single “Wasup!” has also surfaced on air and is currently playing in heavy rotation at 40 college radios stations nationwide. The White House Band’s “The Stimulus Package” EP is currently ranked the Top #5 most added album to college radio in the country for the Hip Hop genre.
