Music: The Best of Just Plain Sounds 2009

What an amazing year it has been for the squad! From forming with small numbers, to growing into Richmond's home for progressive urban music. From rivah raps with Braintrust, to deep thinking with Just Plain Ant, to malt liquor melodies with Jay Slim, to space traveling with Junior Wong, to wax-cleansing with OhBliv and JstPlnAnt, to re-colorization with Ant, to Summer dreamin' with yours truly, to bubble jackets & Gore-tex with Oblivion, to throwing rose pedals with SleazeO, to growing infinitely with Joey Ripps. We have been under, through and all over the RVA with rhymes for days and beats for weeks. 2009 saw the beginning of something. Get ready for more. Happy New Years! In 2010, more of the same...
