    @Infinite, what would you do in his shoes? You are out there to play a show... do you just unplug all your shit and walk off stage because there are a handful of people clouding up the scene with negative vibes?

    Heard K'Khana a couple years ago and loved it, just rediscovered all of his other music after exploring new genres of music and I love it even more.

    This guy blows. Saw him opening for Emancipator on Feb 1 and his set was WAYYY too long and the crowd wasn't feeling it whatsoever but he kept going. I was leaning against the railing and was practically falling asleep. Really boring and uninspired

    Just recently discovered this artist through a hooping video of Mona "ShpongledHoops". I am so glad I found this! Instant love.

    @Kilgore666Trout likewise! Had a blast that night! Too bad we couldn't buy merch from him.
