"Yoi" Gevalt: This Music Producer REALLY loves the Pittsburgh Steelers
Since Vijay Chattha (C'00) lived on the bottom floor of 4010 Spruce his senior year, he has always been into music and nightlife. Back in 1999 he co-founded and later sold Philly2nite, an online nightlife and entertainment portal with fellow Penn alum entrepreneur Nihal Mehta (C'99, Pi Lam).
Now, as a rapper and executive producer for a group called BlackMahal, he has created something you'll all want to check out this weekend.
After the jump watch the very unique (and catchy) Bhangra-style Steelers anthem and music tribute video he produced.
After you watch it, you'll be in the Superbowl spirit for sure!

Superbowl Fever: These Penn Alumni go "Old School" (VIDEO)
Because this weekend is the Superbowl, I thought you'd all appreciate a viral video created by the Penn alum who created a musical interpretation of The Godfather, Tom Dimenna (C'02, Quarterback for Varsity Football Team).
In Tom's film THE PURISTS, two football coaches speak out about what is truly, "Old School".
The video stars Tom as Walter "Gibbs" Branigan and and fellow Penn alum Jeff Hatch (C'01) as Kyle Rogers, a third round draft pick out of Penn State.
After the jump, watch the short and be sure to check out these old timer's reaction to "artificial turf"!
