He made the beats, I wrote and sang the lyrics. 1, 2, 3 its easy. Listen to the first track on side A here: OVERTIME Its a song about a welder. More soon...

BIG LOVE to Corinne for showing me this one! Foxy Brown puts Tracey Chapman's OG version to shame with this one.

I just read an incredible essay on the whole Miley Cyrus VMA scandal. Here's a quote: "Cyrus acts out her faux bisexual performance for the white male gaze against a backdrop of dark, fat black female bodies and not slightly more normative cafe au lait slim bodies because the juxtaposition of her sexuality with theirs is meant to highlight Cyrus, not challenge her supremacy. Consider it the racialized pop culture version of a bride insisting that all of her bridesmaids be hideously clothed as to enhance the bride’s supremacy on her wedding day ."
