One of my favorite songs from last year’s still-slamming, Spaceship & Rockets. Houston is low-key having a moment right now, between The Outfit, Easy Yves Saint, Maxo Kream, and probably a dozen others I’m leaving out (2-way paging Shea Serrano).

| The Midnight Marauding of The Outfit, TX | June 3, 2013 |
Max Bell has a pocket full of stones. There’s no shortage of posts about The Outfit, TX here on this site (see here, here, and here).
