Supporting music in Richmond since 2000 - "Hello, my love, I heard a kiss from you / Red magic satin playing near, too / All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn't shine / Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind / In the garden, I see, west purple shower bells and tea / Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green / Pretty music, I hear, so happy and loud / Blue flowers echo from a cherry cloud" - The Brothers Johnson, “Strawberry Letter 23”
I probably heard one of this illest albums this year and it probably won't get the love it deserves. VA has some pretty dope artist. This kat Shawn Xavien even released his album on last.fm for free which was crazy because I would've paid for that joint. Not to often do I take local artist serious in the area because they usually all sound the same but this dude is crazy I'm tellin' you. You guys should find this guy i'm serious.
