Your album is awesome. I can't stop listening to it. Hopefully you can come down to NYC to perform and maybe we can even do a gig together. I'd love to see you guys live.
Can't wait til my Amazon copy gets here tomorrow. From what I've heard of the samples you guys actually live up to the spreading hype. Already put you in My Top Friends:)
