Takin it to the Streets

For the last ten years I have been on the streets of Las Vegas working behind the scenes of our local music biz. Chances are, if you have gotten a flyer for a concert, it has come from me or someone on my team. While we are out and about, we get to hear about a lot of cool stuff. This month I asked you: about your news years resolutions. Personally, I quit making them years ago. No sense in beating myself up over something I don’t keep! Here is what you had to say…

Jewish Dave Rossen

“I plan on finishing writing, recording, producing, mixing and mastering : MC Randumb & Jewish Dave - "Doggy Partz," Tha Big Yummy - "Bounce, Crunk and Skunk Music," Killa Korpse Gangstaz - "Greatest Tits," both Trajik and Infa-Red from Desert Mobb's solo albums, Fa-Cock-Ta - "Milking The Meat," and a 2nd UNLV Polar Bear Club Local Music Compilation...”
