David wrote about Fredo Santana for Noisey this week, an important cultural figure who died last week at the age of 27. Check out the piece, plus a link to an official Fredo Santana mix courtesy Chief Keef's DJ (and So Many Shrimp guest) DJ Amaris: https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/xw4b4a/fredo-santanas-influence-is-immeasurable

We'll continue with regularly scheduled episodes on Monday.
