adventures in Bandcamp #1
Can’t believe I haven’t done this sooner. Day off, raining outside, housework done. Bandcamp ahoy. I have a lot more but too much at once would take away from what the artists have to offer. On the left, Black Bobby. You’ll recognize the beats but each one is niceness and BB’s flow is super nice. Beedie is another that caught my ears. He has another project on his page that is even better than this one so grab that while your there too. Enjoy!
Black Bobby – Phat Kid Tendancies
Beedie – Most Slept On

To anyone who doubts either the potential greatness of mixtapes, or of Kasha as a thinking mans MC… peep this. Enjoy!
