Sonny Fodera & Wattie Green. Maybe you heard of them. For the past couple years these two young producers have been constantly battling each other for the top spot in the Charts with nearly every release or remix they put out. It was only a matter of time before they went head to head, and they do just that with "Battle Royale"their EP released on Sonny's Beatdown label. And wouldn't you know it, each of their tracks are chasing each other for the #1 spot and its neck and neck.
