GRIT TALK: Ill Doots

Ill Doots
Aight aight aight...To start let me just say this. These are the homies. Seriously. I opened for them their first time in the city back in December 2014. Not only was their performance one of the best things I had ever seen in Asheville but the after party was fire too. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a homebody who doesn't do that shit but after seeing them in full force I had to make an exception. They shut it down every time they hit the stage. This is their fifth time coming to our overpriced lil' city and they always show love, and in turn they always get love back. This Saturday, September 24th, we will all be at The One Stop hittin' our vibe for the 'UNIFY' Tour. So with that in mind it is my honor to share with you all the first installment of my new way of pestering you with dope. Grit Talk. Musashi Xero: Aight guys lets start somewhere simple... Summarize what 'Ill Doots' are about in 3 words. Doots: I Love Living Xero: List 5 things that are as Ill as the Doots?
