It officially came out yesterday, but you can grab these two via Bandcamp and head over to their official store to purchase.  Make sure you browse previous volumes too!

VIDEO:FULL CRATE & MAR-I SAID

This video is a dope complement to one of my favorite tracks from Full Crate & Mar’s Conversations with Her EP. It’s also an interesting follow up to their first video for “She Was Fly.”  I’m ready to hear more from the Netherlands natives. They have a great synergy.

Shouts to Nalden.
