    Just yesterday, GrungeCake’s own entertainer and rising entrepreneur Lil Esparo (who happens to be my loving nephew) just released his first project of the year titled “Lucky 7”, which features cover art inspired by Tyrann Mathieu of the Arizona Cardinals and songs produced by Deonte Edwards. We’d like to emphatically thank everyone on the team who helped to put this project together and to thank those who have been spreading the word. Watch the first video from “Lucky 7” now, shot by Chris Klein.

  • Mix: Driis’ “Taking Over The World But It’s OK”

    Handsomely, Driis reworks the late Whitney Houston’s Billboard-climber “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay” and wows us as it sounds nothing like the original. Clearly, that’s the point. When he’s not making music or playing it for an audience, he’s being a damned good actor. Listen to the energetic house remix below.
