(get tickets for the June 23 album release party HERE).
What follows is Smoke M2D6 discussing each of the featured guests - - -
AKA
"I've always felt drawn to him since we first met, and we've always worked well together. AKA is now tapping into his potential in a way he never has." Smoke M2D6 co-produced AKA's recent album Chip & a Chair. "We're almost done with the new album Stone Bubble, 20 songs long, next year we work on Final Table (these are all poker terms)."
Rachael Teixeira
"She is amazing (not just because she's my sister), trip hoppy and soulful at the same time. Her new album comes out next month, From the Water." Expect From the Water to extend beyond all expectations.
Lone Wolf & Cub
"One of my good MC friends is Shao Sosa, and his son is also an MC, Nobi. I've always been a fan of both their music. Now that they've decided to form a father & son duo, it's even better. This will be their first time performing as a duo in their hometown of Tacoma."
Souls Worn Thin
"I've seen Souls Worn Thin before opening for AKA at his last CD release party. Totally dig them as a band, real rockin'. They set it off no matter what genre the audience may be into."
