After a short break, The prolific DJ Heron returns with a new episode of his web-series House Of Heron! Presented by Gridlock Production House the twelve part series invites top Miami, Florida emcees into Heron’s studio to do a blindfold record pull from his collection which he then cooks an original beat from and the emcee spits to resulting in a new single. This time around the guests are DJ Exes (emcee) and Nando (multi-instrumentalist) who are in the trio Grupo HNE with Heron.
Pulling a Billy Joel and Dr. John LP the cook-up in the episode resulted in the single “Golden Tone” a soulful and crackin’ dose of Spanglish boom-bap.
Coincidentally Grupo HNE is dropping their debut album today as well. This follows a string of singles and videos already released that appear on the album (links below).
