Later this Fall 18', Rising Boston artists AB Soarin and FreshfromDE [via Delaware] will be releasing their upcoming sequel EP "The Leftovers 2" which is a follow up to the recently released "The Leftovers." Earlier last month they hit you with the MizzoTheO featured single "All There" and the inspiring trap anthem "Pack It Up" video produced by Missing Link back to back and the duo are maintaining that consistency as they drop yet another visual from the extended play, the Len Luciano directed "Forewarning" featuring long-time collaborator and hometown rapper MizzoTheO, produced by Ayydot x TeeWaTT. #forewarning #absoarin #freshfromde

I met this artist at a gig about a year ago and we just seemed to click right away. Beyond his music, there was just a way he carried himself that drew me into highlighting his story. Without going in too deep, I found out through previous conversation that he had a link or connection to Snoop Dogg, so while I didn’t really dive into that, just the name recognition alone told me that ThaArtist Kali was definitely on the right path.

We sat down at a random sports bar near Parkland, WA and I just turned on my recorder and began talking. I

only intended for a 10 minute interview but we talked for almost an hour about all aspects of music and just life as an artist.

Unfortunately, I had to condense the interview to roughly 1200 words or less so a lot of the interview wont be transcribed this time around. I will say that if you ever have a chance to attend one of Kali’s shows, take it. The man has a stage presence that allows him to own that stage whether he’s the opener or the anchor closing it out. If you West Coast to your heart, Kali’s verses will speak to your soul. Read More…

He’s the kind of person you’d want representing your establishment. With a steady path and a sure gesture, George has a connection with every patron he greets that seems to go beyond what you would normally think. If a bar is a meeting place than George Cain is one of many draws that keeps the people coming back. Now when the lights shine and the turntables are set, grabbing the mic to kick off the show, we meet the rapper, entertainer and businessman, George Kush.

Under this moniker, Cain amplifies his already inviting personality into an aggressive spitter who’s writing dives into mindset of a man who is doing all that he can to rise while questioning his own demons and notions of what it means to be a success in this competition. From questioning death to uplifting the audience to live who they are and spread positivity in even the seemingly most insignificant moments, the honesty in which he speaks on this duality is guaranteed to stay with any listener long after that nights show has ended.
