Mike Schreiber traveled to Ghana and got some behind the scenes stills from “Coz Ov Moni,” the upcoming pidgin language day-in-the-life musical/comedy by African hip-hop artists Mensa and Wanlov a/k/a FOKN Bois.

Movie promo + two-part interview with FOKN Bois about the movie after the jump, where they break down various possible meanings of their group name, which includes “French Octupuses Killing Nymphs.” We still have no idea what the movie title means.

The Source posted a quick Q&A with RESPECT. contributor Mike Schreiber in which he muses about leaving photography for stand-up comedy. We’re not sure how to take that. Mike’s a great photographer. But he’s also a really funny guy. This one could go either way.
