Reporting From The Nexus

It’s the late-late-late release of Episode 3 as Jonny G battles against the tides of time and the maskless zombies of the outside world… In this session, we consult a warrior in the Charlotte Gaming Scene, Emi of The Athena Alliance, on how she & co are reaching women in the industry as well as many of our local folk with their platform. We also give a prelude to The Silencing Machine’s 2020 after catching their latest single, “Vicious”.Tracks Used in the Episode:ReeCee Raps - Would You (CLT Hip-Hop)- https://reeceeraps.bandcamp.com/releasesThe Silencing Machine - Vicious (CLT Metal)- https://music.apple.com/us/artist/the-silencing-machine/1497474954Sonic Advanture 2 OST - Escape From The City- https://store.bravewave.net/album/sonic-adventure-2-official-soundtrack-vinyl-edition

It is a Final Fantasy-centric Episode this week!! Jonny G gets up with an old friend & fellow lover of the franchise in talking about the recent release of the FFVII Remake, out for the Playstation 4 Console. We also dive into a little bit of history when it comes to the series and as well check in to see how living on the West Coast is during this weird time. We’ll also be reviewing Buster Sword Cypher, a mash-up created by Omega Sparx & SWATS, two nerdcore hip-hop artists in the Charlotte Scene, as well as a host of others in paying tribute to the 22 year history of the original game.Tracks This Week (All Available on Bandcamp For Purchase):- Distant Worlds (Album IV) - Jenova Complete (Final Fantasy VII)- https://store.ffdistantworlds.com/track/jenova-complete-final-fantasy-vii- Distant Worlds (Album IV) - Cosmo Canyon (Final Fantasy VII)- https://store.ffdistantworlds.com/track/cosmo-canyon-final-fantasy-vii- Omega Sparx - Buster Sword Cypher- https://omegasparx.bandcamp.com/track/buster-sword-cypherWritten & Performed by Gerrell "Omega Sparx" Hoover, Raheem "Mega Ran" Jarbo, Tia "Prowess The Testament" Chesmee, Richard "Cutright" Cutright, Joshua "None Like Joshua" Frohling, Ashara "FrivolousShara" Williams, Tony "NemRaps" Mitchell, Matthew "Gr3yson" Mosley, Ninethie Music, Destiny "DA-Wolf" Morgan & Sean "SWATS" Watson.
