I ran across this video on the ol’ Youtube and it immediately hit me where I knew it from….GRAND NUTZ

I just got the artwork for the upcoming Grand Nutz Da Ladies Man release from my main man Derek Erdman ….and even though they won’t be ready for a bit, I just had to share!

This one is gonna be nutz! Limited to 50 copies with a 25/25 split on the covers. AWESOME!!

Grand Nutz - Original Flavor

Grand Nutz - Pink Willy Style

Here’s the story:

I was working at a record store on the south side of Chicago a few years back and this kid walks in and asks if we sell local music. So I try to point him towards our local section and he’s like “naw…I make music.” So I ask him “Oh are you a rapper? Do you make beats?” He replies…”No, I sing R&B.” as he hands me a 90 minute Maxell cassette tape with a photo of himself on the cover and the words Grand Nutz Da Ladies Man on the cassette label.  With that, he walked out of the store. So of course I immediately put it on. What happened next was something magical.  All the old crusty jazz dudes perked up their ears and came up by the counter and listened with me as we heard this cacophony of failed R&B acapellas sung by someone who is most obviously tone deaf. Thing is….he’s 100% committed. There’s Boys II Men harmonies, ad-lib rubber duckie rip offs, scat sung TV theme song flubs (Flinstones, Scooby Doo) and even a few moments of Karaoke style bliss as he puts on a boombox in the background and attempts to sing along. It’s unbelievably precious.
