Talk about a blessing!\u00a0Aside from\u00a0the fact that my production team has actually been co-producing a couple records\u00a0with Thurz&#8217;s team, the Red Bull Sound Select-backed <em>Designer EP<\/em> is pretty crazy and set to take his existing movement to a brand new level. The lead single from the project, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/redbullsoundselect\/thurz-21-2\/s-9sgo0\" target=\"_blank\">21<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, premiered on music blogs\u00a0this week and actually featured the EP cover, along with the tracklist. It&#8217;s pretty crazy seeing my work on some of the top music blogs! I can only imagine the looks once things really take off! The EP hits iTunes Nov. 4, but you can check the cover and <em>21<\/em> below.
