House Shoes “Newports” Mp3 & OJ Simpson Release @ the Shelter (Video & MP3)


After seeing the Eagles at the Hollywood Bowl recently, and Redman & Method Man headline “Spring Gathering” Saturday, “Newports” was a welcome change of pace from the week before.

The fourth in the All City Records LA 10 Series alongside fellow D citizen turned cali transplant Jordan Rockswell, the new shipment is that raw uncut pure. Next Tuesday at Verdugo Bar is Gaslamp Killer/Samiyam/RasG/Dibia$e/Tokimonsta/Coleman/BYZE1/NOMSG/ABCNT/Dj Jedi/ …
