I’ve enjoyed listening to music much longer than I’ve enjoyed reading books. Reading has only been an interest of mine for the past five years, especially subjects like philosophy, religion, and sociology.

The press release reads: “In the lead up to his new EP featuring Propaganda, J Givens, Derek Minor and more, Heath McNease partnered with Keyes (aka Heir Jordan) to drop a loosie that takes a satirical look at what it is to be a rapper Over a gritty beat from producer Wonderlust, both rappers dole out stern warnings about the dangers of getting to know an emcee. The video was shot and directed by Heath, Jordan and Chris Pochiba.”… Continued →

Heath McNease posted on Facebook yesterday that he was about to drop “the dumbest, most juvenile music video” he’s ever done. I think he accomplished that with Bounce House. Check out the video below, and if you want to bounce with him buy the track on bandcamp. The track features Free Daps (a group he has collaborated with before) and Jimmy Ventura. … Continued →
