New House Of Heron Episode & single ft. Shottie
Gridlock Production House in association with DJ Heron have released a new episode of the original web series House Of Heron this morning.
For the uninitiated each episode of the series welcomes a notable Miami spitter to Heron’s studio, where they draw several random records (while blindfolded) for Heron to create an original beat on the spot and the emcee to record to. The newest episode features Shottie and the resulting single (also out now via DSP’s) is titled “Shut Up.”
