No more Stones Throw?!?! Ehhhh… Excited for the album and I’m glad Mayer will get wider distribution and a heftier payday, but it just doesn’t seem right to me. Regardless I’ll cop when it drops.

Damn, I thought he was going to stick it out with Stones Throw. But hey business is business and if the album is dope, I’ll buy it. It’s still Indie forever though
