September 24, 2018 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Early this morning, the guys of Butcher Brown just dropped a video of their take on OutKast's "Prototype" to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the legendary double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Yes, you've heard this jam, you've heard other folks take on this jam, but have you heard Richmond, VA's own play this? It's too cool a song, it was just begging for their … [Read more...]
