[Trailer] V/H/S/2

Date: 05.16.2013 by Geoff Henao|Posted in: Movies, Trailers 0 Comments

As some of those familiar with my alter-ego know, I’m not a fan of horror movies at all. I get too anxious and nervous when facing suspense and gore.

Manny P: “Crumbled” (prod. by Savier)

Date: 05.14.2013 by Geoff Henao|Posted in: Chicago, Music, Songs 0 Comments

One of my favorite songs of last fall was “Runaway” by Chandler London and Blakkass Westley featuring Cadillac Duke. The beat, produced by Savier of Animuse/TBO fame, was haunting and atmospheric that was able to complement each rapper’s vastly different rap styles. Savier has some production chops, and thankfully, we got some new work from...
