Imma hit that like real quick as this video starts

Huh?

[@metallung]

Thank you KCRW for featuring Nick Hakim, June McDoom and the wonderful group! When I went to see them in January, I recorded as much as I could because his live performances are different than his studio recorded music. Those clips aren't as good as this (couldn't help myself but to sing along in the videos!) so this is something I will come back to in order to relive those life changing moments again.

love when he sings the Vertigo outro the octave up, amazing

[@elwilliams1332]

He's really one of my favorite artists...won't even limit him by saying favorite singers. There is something about him that goes beyond.
