Casey Frazier Shares ‘One Day To Kansas City’
Americana fans, rejoice! Casey Frazier’s track “One Day To Kansas City” is a stunning blend of gospel, soul, and folk influences wrapped in a rich, heartfelt soundscape. With a career spanning over a decade and a knack for storytelling, Frazier delivers a track that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
From the very first note, the song sweeps listeners into a cinematic atmosphere filled with big, brassy horns, a rolling piano, electrifying guitar riffs, and the warmth of a Hammond organ. It’s the kind of track that immediately feels timeless—something you could stumble upon on an old jukebox or hear filling the streets of a bustling Southern town. The groove is infectious, pulling you in with its undeniable swing and soul.
At its core, “One Day To Kansas City” is a reflection on the passage of time, the pull of home, and the longing that comes with both leaving and returning. Frazier’s evocative lyrics paint a picture of a man tethered to his roots yet unafraid of where the road might lead.
For those who love the storytelling essence of Americana and folk but crave a little extra soul and vibrancy, this track is a must-listen. It’s refreshing to hear an artist embrace traditional elements while infusing them with new energy.
So, turn up the volume, let the music take you away, and enjoy the journey—just like Frazier intended.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
