Give Blood


A friend of mine picked me up from JFK on a snowy January night, last year. We drove through Williamsburg, and I recognized Kyp Malone walking down the street with a young lady, with a few rented DVD's in hand. I found myself nerdily leering out the window, and exclaiming to my friend, "I wonder where they're going?! I wonder what movies they're gonna watch?!" Well, apparently he's been working on a solo project titled Rain Machine, and signed to ANTI records. Visit the ANTI site HERE, for official info. Give a listen to "Give Blood" below. The album is set for a September 22nd release date.
