ARTIST4HYER WILL BE BACK!

Artist4Hyer and the blog team took a brief hiatus, just to make sure things will stay relevant. Currently I'm in the middle of finding recording equipment to make this blogging/thing a little more interesting. I do apologize to each and everyone who has been grinding and working tirelessly and need an outlet to put their music out. I have all the submissions and will post them as soon as possible. For all those who are fans and still check on the blog religiously, I do apologize to you as well, we will be back soon!

Levi Lennon- Lawdamercy (Spoken Video)

If I had to guess, just to assume, this next track is a written interlude on his next project, The Couch Tour, which drops December 26th. Through his raspy voice is a message. The two minute something video does have a small concept, which should be easily understood. Like he told me in text, this isn't a regular video. The best of Levi, its only safe to expect the unexpected when dealing with Levi. Fair?
