And during that incredibly long period time, dem Boyz have had few if any secrets between them. But you never stop learning about someone so long as you keep the relationship important and keep in communica...

So, during a pre-recording meeting in the studio one day, Edward kept asking Vince if he had a lighter so he could begin the meeting with what they refer to as a ‘ceremony’. And this went on periodically throughout the meeting as well. Well not...

Just Let Joey Drive!)One cold February night, I met up with the legendary businessman, Joey K, at a most eclectic music venue in Dallas, Texas. The Granada Theater..

It was also the first night we decided that recording our conversation might just make for an interesting audio experience. We were both really feelin alright that night and I decided for the very first time to 'Let Joey Drive'. The conversation that is. And boy Joey did not disappoint. Thank the Uber Jesus for our ride home...
