Hearing him expand beyond hip hop to other classic Michigan music is a welcome adventure and the first episodes of this podcast are a treat.... more
I dig the podcast. Nostalgic and takes me back to the days of being eager to have my music posted on the Renaissance Soul website. Looking forward to seeing this platform get its proper due. Keep it going Fresh.
