Greetings Gautamanation
Today I’m bumping my homie James from way back’s project A Tightly Woven Lattice. The record is called “Bread And Rubber” and it’s definitely worth a listen. Since James is a Southern gentlemen this record pairs up best with some bourbon and I recommend Wild Turkey 101 on the rocks. Sip [...]

#WhiskeyWednesday V 2.0 Back In Action For 2013

What’s up everybody,
I know we’re already a 3rd of the way through it but I hope this year’s been treating you all well.  Mine’s been pretty awesome.  After essentially quitting rap (again) six months I find myself once again motivated and productive.  I put a new EP last month through my good friend Crocker’s label [...]

#MusicMonday Venue Revue: The Money, Rock Hill SC

So, in my tenure as a working musician–that now spans my entire adult life–I’ve come to realize a few things about venues. One of those things is, the bathroom tells the whole story.
