"Tha P.A.C. is like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Bringing forth a self-proclaimed fusion of “Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, Rock and Neo Soul,” the gentlemen of Purple Asteroid Cadillac succeed in doing something not a lot of current music acts accomplish; creating a fresh, previously unheard stream of music." - Brittany Newton - Detoures Magazine

I am excited to inform you that Fooch and his band Purple Asteroid Cadillac aka Tha Pac has recorded some material and I am even happier to give you a preview of things to come. Fooch and his band rocked their first show a couple weeks back at Iowatasmic in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa and received a very warm welcome. The event's organizers were extermely impressed as well as the audience and the rest of the performers at the event, some even going as far as to say that the relatively NEW band sounds as if it's been playing together for years. Things are looking good for the band as they're already taking on more shows, and that includes one in Fooch's hometown of Chicago in the upcoming weeks. - brainiacsociety.com
FSD: Tell me more about your new artist Fooch.
Naledege: "He’s somebody who people need to be on the lookout for, and it will be very soon, believe me. He has a different side to Hyde Park, a different side of the Southside to him. It’s very hip-hop, but at the same time very grimey – that Chi-Town Heltah Skeltah type shit – so he’s real dope. If I’m like Guru, then he’s like Group Home, (laughs) you know what I’m saying? He has his own style and I love him for that. It’s so Chicago and undeniable." - Fakeshoredrive.com
