We had the chance to catch up with OKC’s own; Jabee. Being that today is the eve of Blood is the New Black release, we figured why not link up with Jabee and see what he’s all about. Jabee answered a couple of questions for us and make sure you buy the new album. Grafwurks will come back at a later time to do our FIRST full review of the album Blood is the New Black.
