After last week’s debacle, you didn’t think I’d forget to record SNSS on back to back episodes, did you?  Back once again, it’s the incredible.  This time, we were joined in studio by one of our favorite local artists, Thaddeus David, who you should be familiar with from his work with State of the Artist (SOTA) and Helluvastate.  He’s now releasing his first solo project, Maven, this Friday and we spoke with him all about it. We also aired our interview (and live acoustic in-studio performance!) from a very promising up and coming R&B singer, John West.  Peep the interviews and the rest of the dopeness below.  RIP Etta James & Jam-Master Jay!
