Release of "Hip Hop"

I started recording a new batch of songs a couple of years back. I think we have seven still unfinished. My voice was starting to bother me at the time, but my plan was to do vocals when it got better. As time went on and my voice got worse, I decided to get some help. When I have a good day, I try to finish some of these recordings. "Hip Hop" is a Steve Arvey song that I added lyrics to. I used to sing this at daycare and the kids loved it, so I wanted to make a recording for them and all of you. You can see some of the new lyrics were written for the kids: "short and cute in a tie-dye shirt" and "count my numbers and show them what I got". My old bandmate and friend, Kevin Purcell, stepped in on vocals for me.

I am full of gratitude and ever so thankful for the life I've been able to live, and the amazing folks who have shared with me along the way.

Everyday is a new chance.

Peace my friends,

Kraig
