Swept Up

How often do two rappers show up in your studio looking to write a track together in under 15 minutes? You don't have a studio? That's fine. Just check out Mob 1 The Only 1 and The Finesser Professor work together to show a sped-up version of the process it takes to put together a solid track. All they had was pen, paper, YouTube and minds full of rhymes. The finished product is pretty impressive! Even The Mouse drops some vocals on the track!

You may never have heard of "Old Leather Lungs", Frankie Laine, in spite of his hits on the UK charts...he was a big deal in the 50s though, so that's probably why.

We have a great interview coming up this Friday so make sure to check-in and until then, don't forget to check out 'The Live EP', a kickass, heartbreaking and touching collection of Carter's own tunes recorded live off the floor!

Check out this kickass Toronto-based band. Imagine STP, Sound Garden, Symphony X and Life Of Agony all rolled in the hay together to create some strange musical child and this would be the product! They just released a new music video for their leading single 'World of Sorrow' off their 2018 album Shores of the Sun so, naturally, we decided to cover not only the single but a couple of others from the album too!
