This is one of the parts of the GFM Experience that I love the most… you know the part where you hear some great music that you just have to share with everybody and then, you hope that whoever you share it with shares it to so that the artist’s visibility can rise. In the words of Chris Tucker’s Smokey “You know how we do!”
We are hoping to highlight more of L*A*W’s work here on GFM because we enjoy not only his musical stylings but his thoughts and respect for the music itself. That goes a long way these days when it seems that more people are into the money than the music.
“The Description” is culled from L*A*W’s new album Tha Planet 12 Syndrome which you can purchase here.
