Jeffco Crew #029 - Shakespeare, Buffalo Bill & Jazz
Well, well well.
The heat broke, and it's starting to feel like 'late' summer, I think?
Quick update on Jeffco Crew Meetup #001 - I'm aiming for August 6th or 13th (both Wednesdays) for an informal happy hour gathering, so pencil it in to your calendar or let your personal assistant know, however you roll!
More on that asap.
Let's get into it, shall we?
🎧 We Listen
Where I choose a few songs for you to enjoy - and request your suggestions!
oskar med k - what a name, eh - gives us a late summer sample that can do chill and can do party boat, all at once.
I was listening to Rizzle Kicks way back in 2011 and just recently came across the fact that they've returned, a bit more mature, a bit more sober, a bit more in love. The British hip hop still hits.
Probably a few readers that were in a different place in 2011, yeah? 🙋🏼
