Huge thanks to everyone that's hit me with feedback. I really appreciate the kind words. And thanks to the homie Kutcorners from Vancouver on the bass and Minneapolis' Mike The 2600 King on the art!

 

I don't remember exactly how Big Jacks & I came to know each other. It might've been "hey, you're a tall dude with glasses. You should know that other tall dude with glasses." I've been up to Toronto to rock with him several times & he rocked with Moma and I at our Special Delivery party several months ago. (And absolutely tore the place down!) Afterwards we got to joking about how our musical tastes are so similar that I could be the white Big Jacks and he could be the Black DJ Eleven. And, more importantly, we talked about doing a project together. Within an email or two, we'd immediately gravitated to the same suggestions, hence the name. So, with no more delay, here's Big Jacks & DJ Eleven's "Great Minds":
