My latest addition to the Thriller site comes from Flint, Michigan representer (think Jon Connor) RJ Maine! Passed along my way, I wasn’t turned away when I clicked open the soundcloud link to this Kade Fresco-featured track “Basquiat.” I could feel the conviction in Maine’s flow, I was sold. Currently residing in Austin, Texas, I’m sure RJ will have a prosperous SXSW experience this March. Get familiar above by clicking play! - Chad Law
Chakeeta B is back with another banger and this one is gonna have the summer hot hot hot. She shows us her freaky side with “Freaks Only” featuring RJ Maine. Hey its Friday so get you a glass of something cold, roll up and take a listen. - QUITETRILL WORLDWIDE
