Working with Desta on this project was a pretty dope experience. I’ve worked behind the scenes on a bunch of mixtapes, EP’s and mix cd’s with various mc’s and deejays but this one was a bit different because I was able to bring a street element – the mixtape – to a vocalist. As a [...]

The vibes were just right that night. The weather was warm, the sky was clear and there was a hell of show going down in Brixton! I arrived at Hootannany just in time to grab a pint and make my way to the already packed dance floor. The band hit the stage, done a quick [...]
