I’v known Raj for a long time.

A frequent patron at St. Andrews in the prime years, Raj has been honing his craft for years. I hit him last year to send me a gang of joints to see if he had enough heat on deck for me to put him in the series.

On Xmas eve last year, I put the 88 joints that Raj sent me a few weeks earlier in my phone to go thru. The next day my lil homie Smokey died 15 mins after my son opened his presents. I had to go to the store after all this and pressed play on Raj’s joints son as I got in the car.

The first track in the playlist sounded like Smokey’s fucking funeral, and I knew when I heard this that that the world to had to hear it. I just had to find 11 more joints out of those 88. I did.

Limited vinyl late summer.
