    I first got in touch with Devlon through Robert “Scholar” Simmons (listen to his episode here), so this episode’s been in the works for a while now. Devlon gives off a confident but vulnerable energy. Knot You Vintage was a dream turned reality for Devlon, but it took him a lot of self reflection and working on...

  • Episode 33 – Jerrell Gibbs
    *THIS EPISODE CONTAINS POLICE SIRENS! AND AN EASTER EGG IF YOU’RE PATIENT!* Art is something I was never good at; painting, drawing…even sketching a still life was always a struggle.

  • Episode 28 – Michael Singleton
    If you frequent the Farmer’s Market under the JFX or in Waverly, you’ve had to maneuver your way around some long lines. The longest line usually belongs to Blacksauce Kitchen.
