Maiya Sykes is too legit! Singing Biggie verses with ease is unbelievable impressive. Loved swinging on this Postmodern Jukebox version of Biggie’s  “Juicy”

With roots in the Zydeco dance halls of Louisiana, rhythm has always been a centerpiece of the ebullient, indie-pop band, Givers.

Did a "stripped down" session w/ GIVERS at WFUV Public Radio, the videos just came out, check em. @wfuvstrikeachord
