    WR901: 431 Aidan / Thatcher Robinson / YBK Shakur / Jane Fuentez / Xotik

    This one's a little different. It's part of a series of episodes I'm doing in collaboration with local rapper Ezoman's Creative Side Entertainment for this year's 'Future of M"you"sic' competition, which is a six-month long showcase of up-and-coming local artists at the Limelight.
    Here's the third episode, which is similar to my old Quick Hits format (remember that?), and it features a clip of Ezoman giving some background on the event, plus micro-interviews with a few of the artists participating in the third stage of the competition on May 30: 431 Aidan, Thatcher Robinson, YBK Shakur, Jane Fuentez, and Xotik.Check out the April episode feat. Yung Balboa, Loverboy Nel, and Austentatious, and the March episode feat. Isxxc Jxmes, Laurel Chante, J Krish, Miggz & Skye, and Ben Notes.
