Roy Ayers

To preface this post.  In the coming weeks, and hopefully in the past couple as well, you’ll see changes at RH as far as the content goes as well as the design.  For a little bit I kind of lost touch with why I started writing about music, why I love music, all that bulls**t. So, saving any deep stories etc, I really love DJ mixes, and discovering rare/older stuff that I don’t know about. We aim to give our readers really dope music, and for the most part, some stuff they wouldn’t know of otherwise.  Keeping with that, we have this new mixtape from Anthony Valdez that pays homage to the great Roy Ayers.  I’m not gonna front like I know Ayers’ catalog front to back, but I have a couple of LPs (on vinyl) and know his impact on music.  Whether you know Ayers like the back of your hand, or are just finding out about him now, this is a great mix that showcases a musical legend.  Download that below. Shouts to Pipo.
