" Cedric and his Grandfather R.L. have done more for Blues popularity then any one since probably, Stevie Ray Vaughn
or Jimi Hendrix. And they did it old school with the sheer power of their music ,so I'm very proud to be makin'this Music with Cedric," Malcolm said. "I'd say our Music traces back to Africa.It's old school but it's got that beat and electricity to make people move, so the younger fans like that,I guess. We just really love playin' and try to put our heart in it every time.
It's honest Music that we write togather based on our surroundings, you know, what we been through and where we tryin' to go."
