I think I may have just become a Goochi Maan fan.

So yeah… This got my attention. Watch for the misspelling of Ethan Hawke.

Two very respected artists (in my book) doing something I only wish I could do.

Funny, ya know? Not genius, but it’s good to hear some argument.

I had completely written off Techa Nina a number of years ago ever since I stopped seeing him at Bonita Flats and he started pulling ICP tail. But here’s his long time partner in crime Krizz Kaliko… And I struggle to describe this without bringing up a certain DM&CL=GB duo… debuting a damn catchy single with a full expense video to boot.

Usually these videos are either a rapper showing off his fake money in front of the family that got him there, or a rapper trying to make his hood look extra, extra hard. But in this case, although it seems I’m supposed to be scared, everyone in this video looks like straight good people. Every one of these cats I could hang with and have a good time.

I really hope these kids are all just friends at some college or music academy, and not a bunch of hired hands.
