“Grey Goose” is the second single from Awkward Silence, and is a raucous follow-up to “Distractions”, which dropped last summer and has made its fair share of noise.

For those who wonder what the kick-it is like in Seattle, this Dyllyn Greenwood-directed clip might give you the best glimpse of that, as Bezzel can be seen turning up at Stage, which is a night spot in his hometown.

In addition to gearing up for the release of Awkward Silence, Bezzel can be seen on the road, as he was tapped to open up for Tyga on the Northwest leg of his tour.

Seattle/Chicago artist Feezable The Germ drops his new mixtape, Only Built IV A Germ’s Empire, hosted by DJ Skullator. Feez delivers a unique but original sound with the content and beat selection of a Martin Scorsese music score. Vocally, his calm but nasally flow compliments his craft entirely. Pay close attention to detail when it comes to everything from the music all the way down to artwork and video production, Feez is definitely a name to look out for this year.
