Wait, it’s not October 15th yet? Oh well, here is Dumhi’s Indian Summer, a day earlier than expected! With appearances from cats like Donwill (Tanya Morgan), Che Grand, Al Mighty (MAGR), Shameless Plug, Jermiside, Flud, Mash Comp, Random, and more, this is bound to be a classic free release. To be honest, this kicks a lot of the free projects that are out right now to the curb. If you aren’t familiar with the work of Dumhi, I highly suggest you catch up and cop all the past releases. And if you need some additional convincing, check out the leaks from last week. I am sure that will diminsh any skeptism that you may have had. Special props goes to Objektiv One for providing some of the most beautiful artwork I have seen in quite some time. Check out the EP and share some thoughts after the skip!
