Ben Vining Fresh, interesting beats combine with impeccable production and stellar musicianship to create an incredible album -- picking just one favorite track is hard! Favorite track: Around The World (Feat. Austin, Chris Young The Rapper, & Arielle Deem).

The Overlooked Tracks Podcast Trying to find detailed information about their history was a little tough, but PLEASE believe me when I say when you listen their album called “MANJ”, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Every track created to this EP is crisp, fresh and free. The album is great all around and the funny thing is that I definitely overlooked this one because it was released in January 2013. At the same time, I was once blind and now I can see what I missed, just another reason for the purpose of Overlooked Tracks. Favorite track: Spread Too Thin (Feat. Lindsay Olsen) (Remastered).

about
