I just got around to checking out this new EP from St. Louis native and Chicago resident, Smino, which was entirely produced by Monte Booker. Everything Monte has touched recently has turned to gold, and what they put together here is excellent as well. My only gripe is that it’s only three songs deep. No…

Look for that project due…

I agree. He also says Cruel Winter is done and could actually come…
