RTC at Ruby Hornet grabbed some great footage of 2009’s breakthrough artist, Mayer Hawthorne, performing live at the Dark Room. Peep part of “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out” above, then a little reggae flip of the single below.
Head on over to Ruby Hornet for more clips and be sure to catch this tour when it hits your town!
I’ve been playing the hell out of this track for ages now, ever since it was included at the end of a mixtape Mayer (as DJ Haircut) put out with his group Now On, and I’m still not tired of it. Talk about a timeless joint.
As I mentioned, if you aren’t familiar with this dude, you’ve been sleeping for about a decade. Haircut has been down with the Lab Techs and the almighty Athletic Mic League (peep the Buff1 cameo) for years putting out great albums and making some insane beats. He’s now splitting his time between crafting songs for Now On, killing beat battles (shout to the Big Tune folks), and becoming a worldwide sensation as Mayer Hawthorne. Go head homey…
