I'm a working bassist out in the Bay Area, and I got a call to play with a band that would cover Mac Dre songs. My first instinct: WTF? Second thought: Does it pay or have potential to be a thing? As a musician I'm constantly making judgments about what projects to invest my time into. And then they dropped the drummer's name and told me anyone in the band ad to be Bay Area born and raised, and I was in. The drummer is Thomas Pridgen, one of the dopest drummers out there who I've been following for a long time (since high school)... He was in the Mars Volta and Suicidal Tendencies and was the youngest person ever (13) to win the guitar center drum-off.

Anyway, we recorded our version of Mac Dre's Genie of the Lamp, and then threw together a lil video. What do y'all think?
