Richie Hennessey (aka S Roc Of Brassmunk) - "Bubbles In The Tub" EP

Although it's a short listen, i've been bumpin the sh*t outta this EP all week. Majority of y'all know him as S Roc, 1/4 of Brassmunk, but this time homie has gone solo as his crooning moniker, Richie Hennessey. I always been a fan of Brass, so anything related, i'm checking out. So through a quick time spand of under 14 min. Richie laces these joints on some smooth soul, with a blend of futuristic funk. Production handled by Jake One, King Sampson (WHAT UP THO?!?!?), Thrysite, and Tone Mason.

Richie Hennessey also appears on 2 joints off of "DIRECT DEPOSIT" which is out in stores and iTUNES now!!

Shout out to the MORE Creative group!! Loving the artwork H. Keep that sh*t uppp!
