2012

4/1/2013

So, the world didn’t end in December….was anyone a wee bit disappointed?

Yes, me too.

Still, my mate The Ruby Kid has included my album in his Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of 2012 on the Hip Hop website lessonsix.com – storming in at #10. 

He even used the words ‘reify’ and ‘dialectical’.

As soon as I’ve checked my dictionary, I’ll know whether to thank him or shank him…[pause].

Thanks, R.Kid

You can see the whole thing here.

And also, check out the Kid himself and his excellent new EP here
