Gummy Soul’s Wally Clark puts together a doo wop inspired Chicano rap mix.

Gummy Soul are a group of three artists: Amerigo Gazaway (known for his Bizarre Tribe album last year), Kurtis Stanley and Wally Clark, the latter of whom has put together a new mix exploring doo wop’s unlikely influence on East L.A.’s Chicano Rap scene of the early 90’s.
