“In New Orleans, especially,” says Randy MC, “I had the absolute honor to vibe and play alongside the drummers in their drum circles hosted by the Congo Square Preservation Society in Louis Armstrong Park every clear-weather Sunday afternoon. This was where I found the inspiration to produce a a great chunk of my album. I connected with all kinds of artists from different socioeconomic and musical backgrounds. Some have become my friends, students, and fans who love my music.”
