The boys are back for season 2 of FTVs! JB and Evan are cooking up in the lab once again. This time they are joined by the OG of looping himself, the exceedingly talented singer/songwriter/noise maker Zach Deputy. Zach shares wisdom, insight and his radiant personality in an epic conversation. For the second half, they pick up right where they left off and dive into reviewing this last week’s new music. They also bring back, by fan demand, the positive thought of the week.

This week JB and Evan get schooled on life, music, and history by the legendary Edley Shine. After his recent collaboration with Kash’d out, Edley Shine is now on the radar of a lot of casual reggae rock fans. True music heads will remember Edley Shine from his massive success in the 90’s as one half of the Born Jamericans or perhaps from his solo work from the past 10+ years. Edley is a fascinating individual with a lot to say. Hit play and enjoy. The second half of the episode, the boys review all of the music from the week before and discuss the news from around the scene.
