Winging my way back to Queens today, after a truly epic reporting trip in Southern California. Can’t wait to clue y’all in to the narrative I’ve been piecing together—it’s a doozy, to say the least. As I hurtle eastward through the air at slightly subsonic speed, enjoy a classic Sean Price track—yet another example of hip-hop’s excellent use of Lee Mason’s “Shady Blues,” a tune previously given supreme Microkhan love here.

Such a banger. We posted Figure Four in July with a Pablo Torre story: http://ontherecords.tumblr.com/post/8263426473/seanpriceinhouston.
He’s another big (early) supporter of my ‘lil tumblr site. Seems like good people.

@Jonathan Doster: Excellent story by Torre. I’m endlessly fascinated by these svengali-like figures who lord over elite youth sports. So many nefarious characters in that world.
Also, essential Sean Price viewing (NSFW, but you knew that already):
