Free EP: Gadget – Mr Yancey Tribute EP
For years I’ve said to myself I should do a little something and pay homage to the big man whom I found so inspirational, so this year *2012* I did.
This was done over a five day period between commitments. I just switched on the mic, vibed out and recorded some old, new and unheard lyrics as well as some on the spot freestyles and hooks. I hope you can “get down” with it!
