Click Below to buy the PPT Denglish CD/DVD or the iTunes downloads www.idolrecords.com PRESS QUOTES: "This trio of rapper / producers Picnic, Pikahsso, and Tahiti pull off what most hip-hop veterans can't: They talk about getting older without getting boring. Their music falls somewhere between Stankonia-era Outkast and post-Purple Rain Prince, evenly pleasing the backpacker types and the cats who just want a little heavy funk. They're ballers too: PPT wrote the official song for the Dallas Mavericks' playoff run, Rowdy, Loud and Proud". SPIN "A soulful hip-hoppy romp through the perils and peaks of relationships." URB "Fans of feel-good hip-hop a la Outkast will be pleased". OKAYPLAYER.COM "Blending the loose-limbed intellectualism of De La Soul's classic 3 Feet High and Rising with the soul vibe of Jurassic 5 and topping it with the infectious energy of the Three Stooges."

My dad drove the San Felipe loop and the Mikes loop. By the time he got to San Felipe, he was the first truck on the road. My dad handed me a helluva lead, so it was pretty easy. It was kind of just stay on the ...
