Big Hit Buda to film video at UI

By Liz deAvila

Local rapper, Big Hit Buda (Brad Turner), originally from Normal, Ill., will be in town Saturday, Feb. 25, to film a music video for “Tha Illini Re-mix.” The rap, by Buda and his brother, features actual cheering and commentary from an Illini basketball game. Shooting for the video is scheduled to take place before the Iowa game, from 12-3 p.m., on the northwest side of Assembly Hall. Buda invites anyone who wants to be in the video to come during the shooting and show their Illini pride.

“We hope to get live crowd shots of people chanting the ILL-INI part of the song,” Buda said. “And hope to show people how we get down in ‘Tha Paign.'”
