Quest Crew member (MTV’s All Star ABDC Champions) & experimental, multi-genre music producer Ru AREYOU teams up with singer/songwriter Alyssa Bernal (formerly signed to Pharrell Williams' Star Trak/Interscope Records) to bring you their new electro soul, 'dark pop' joint, “B&W” (Black & White). Love isn’t always “black and white,” and neither is media’s influence on our youth. Media’s influence is gold to the young mind. Watch two everyday kids Super Saiyan on an eerie night full of make-believe.
