I'm sure most, if not all, of you have heard the sad sad news about the queen of pop Whitney Houston. I was on my way out for the night and as soon as I turned on the radio the news broke.

Over the past couple days I've been choppin' it up with Ikechi Nnamani, he's a 21-year old producer from Chicago that goes by the name of kechPhrase. Basically, he's on Greedhead Entertainment's radar. He's just dropped his Sincerely Yours mixtape it's full of all kinds of different bangers.

So, Dapwell has recruited him for the follow up of this mixtape being presented today. kech has been hard [...]
