Refuge #8: The Hiatus & Soul Overdose feat. Phonte, Wed. 12/16

Gigs, News December 15th, 2009

Remember this Diamond D album? It had treats.

Diamond D – “The Hiatus”

Diamond D - Hatred, Passion & Infidelity

Pulling this out last week was prescient since Refuge is taking a week off.

Kat is in the middle of her birthday week, is closing out Soul Overdose for 2009 and there was no way we could do the final one any other day than Wednesday. We’re suspending Refuge tomorrow and will resume on December 23. Of course, we’ve got a Grammy nominee to help you get over the hump and maybe a dual Soul Controller after party to boost the usual Jahsonic throwdown.
