about

Introducing 'Stop Smiling'! This is my follow-up to the 'Hot Pudding' beat tape, which continues on the rails of troublesome drums and meddlesome edits and layers. I heated it on the final output too so you should feel some nice warmth in there. I sure hope so. For a listening environment, I'd go with an hour long walk out in the city with this on your headphones. But for goodness sake, would you be careful of traffic. Just don't die, is what I'm saying. Fair enough? Fair enough.

As on 'Hot Pudding', the artwork is handled by the gawd Andy Baker. He has routinely come through with beautiful illustration and I'm so very proud to have him handle the design on this one. Do hit him up, or go peep his work- he handles business! Plenty too!

Thank you folks. I can't thank you quite enough. But let this go some way.

"...I used to roll up / this is a hold up, ain't nothin' funny / stop smiling..."

Yo... This album is pure perfection. My only regret is not discovering this back when it was released but I'm overjoyed I found it recently. Detroit ambience for nocturnal heads... Buddy Peace
