Future Classic: S.A. “Rhyme Machine”

Future Classic: Edison – Dehydrated Water EP
Written by : Max Robin It’s quite possible that you might not know the instrumental beat music of California’s Edison. Partly because “Edison” is not a particularly useful internet research word and there are a couple of music acts sharing the name of the famous American inventor. All that could …
