I finally finished up a project I have been working on closely with my homie DJ Trippin' over the past few months. The idea was to take a handful of my freestyles, studio tracks, and b-sides I've recorded over the last year and combine them all to a 1 track mix. All mixing, scratching, and juggling was performed by DJ Trippin'. The effort is available for high quality download by clicking the cover below!
Thank you very much for your friendship.
I'm going to put unique videos you wouldn't find somewhere else, as well as private pictures, tour info and many many more on my page.
Be the first to check this cool stuff out!
Love.
