Here's something different for the blog.  Burnasack is the hip hop project of Bobby Johnson.  Bobby Johnson plays in the band Canyons and runs the record label The Ghost Is Clear records.  Burnasack features interesting samples, a laid back vibe, and a cool stream of consciousness style vocal delivery that really works well with the vibe of Burnasacks's music.  I'm not going to even pretend to say that I know a lot about hip hop, but I get a cool Roots, Tribe Called Quest, and Shabazz Palaces vibe going on with Burnasack.  Staring at the Wall is Burnasack's debut eight song EP, which was released on March 1st, 2017.  Overall, Staring At The Wall makes for a great listen and is definitely worth checking out.  Great stuff!  Enjoy!
