Yasser catches up with legendary producer Dr Zeus and his new collaborator singer Blory to hear the first play of their new single 'Holle Holle'.

And rapper, visual artist, record label owner, Punjabi-American, and native New Yorker, Himanshu "Heems" Suri is in the studio. Heems formed the alternative hip-hop group 'Das Racist' with some friends in 2008. After Das Racist split in 2013, Heems teamed up with Riz MC to form Swet Shop Boyz before beginning work on his official debut solo effort. The album was released in in 2015 and coincided with an exhibition of the rapper's artwork at the Aicon Gallery in New York City. Both the LP and the exhibition shared the same title, Eat Pray Thug.
