Many moons ago in my poker life.... it was healthy cash for me... the second of two segments in this video is a bit more in depth... and while you see a healthy chipstack... i didnt win but it was a very nice payday for 3rd place

(NEVER) 2 HOT, my dance-pop climate action anthem, was inspired by a life long desire for environmental justice and practical sustainability. But there’s too much attention given to a feeling of resigned hopelessness about the climate crisis. It’s a self-defeating mindset and the fact is there are many solutions being implemented and developed at this very moment.

Two years ago I discovered EarthPercent, the climate solutions charity co-founded by Brian Eno. Earth/Percent is a leading global voice and engine for positive, pro-active solutions, led by the bully pulpit of the music industry. The discovery of this organization and learning more about the overall movement, I was motivated to write (NEVER) 2 HOT.

If you want to make a difference, learn more about the positive, uplfiting climate solutions movement and how you can get invloved as an individual and, even more impactfully, as part of the global movement. Individuals, communiites, organizations, companies, and governments can move us, and quickly, to a much more sustainable world.

A portion of all proceeds raised by (NEVER) 2 HOT are being donated earthpercent to support vetted organizations and positive actions for the planet.

Peace and Love,

It was only 4 months ago that Bent River Records signed Massey🤯 And then only one month later, we were in the legendary Dockside Studio on the Bayou. And in the course of just 36 hours, the final arrangement was pulled together by MASSEY and feature artist XOCHI, the master bass player and producer Charlie Wooton, and fantastic rhythm guitarist Daniel Groover of our dance-pop anthem (NEVER) 2 HOT!! Stay tuned for what happened next. You can pre save the song in the comments below.

MASSEY's artistic rebirth shines through in "(Never) 2 Hot" a Climate Solutions Anthem that transitions from a somber reflection on individual despair amidst the pressing climate crisis to an empowering, optimistic, and celebratory rallying cry for global action on climate solutions. This transformative track unfolds with the grandeur of crushed velvet disco, setting the stage with a moody introduction that evolves into a state of groove ecstasy. MASSEY's fusion of gritty rock' n' soul elements and poignant lyrics dynamically juxtaposes the melodic vocals and rap verses delivered by XOCHI, an acclaimed Chicago-based collaborator and co-songwriter. XOCHI is the 2024 Chicago Music Awards winner for "Most Promising Entertainer" and received the 312 Music Awards for "Latin Artist of the Year" in March 2024.
