The General Session

The General Session

Author: Frankie B May 20, 2024 Duration: 51:58
In this Interview session, we speak to Maurice Tha General from Nairobi, Kenya, who has just released his Overstand Mixtape. We talk about his upbringing and love for Reggae Music, which spans all the way back to his Grandfather, who was a Chief and played Reggae for everyone who would listen. Maurice has taken that generational love of reggae music into his own hands by producing some really good music, which we will be playing along the way. Maurice and the Overstand Mixtape are not to be missed. Lock and load your eardrums for some killer music and a talk with one of the more interesting people I've spoken to in awhile.
