It’s been seven years since Snowden’s debut effort, and it’s safe to say that the band’s return has been met with open (and welcome) ears.  Helmed by Atlanta-born songwriter Jordan Jeffares the group has garnered renewed buzz surrounding their highly anticipated release No One In Control on Kings of Leon backed label Serpents & Snakes.  Awesomely enough, the group worked with us in dropping an exclusive premiere of one of their new works.

And as much as we all want to act like we aren’t the working poor – truth is, most of us are living check to check with moments of glory intersparsed with notices from electric companies that the disconnect is pending. Emcees Red Pill (Detroit) and Verbal Kent (Chicago) lay some of the rawest slice of life narratives in the game today over 15 tracks produced by Apollo Brown. Think soul drenched beats with moody horns and heavy drums. …
