If anyone knows how to get a hold of Katie Ares . . Riku from Detroit. Have her hit me up. Its been like forever.

Apparently I have been neglecting the G-Dust page with all the social media outlets that I have. Big things are in the works. Some pre and post shows for Nerdapalooza 2012 as well as new material.

There has been a great influx of press since Sample the Martian joined with Scrub Club Records.

Midwest Nerdcore and Sci-Fi Metaphor Hip-Hop

It has come to my attention that the Midwest needs a Nerdcore Identity. Just like we put together "Untyin' Lost Souls" to spotlight Detroit's indie hip-hop's inner voice and expanded it to include talent from the Midwest as a whole - we are looking to now do the same thing with Nerdcore. This time through collaborations, possibly a compilation and definitely shows.

So if you are a Nerdcore group from the Midwest or know of some people holdin' it down in their area hit us up immediately and lets build.
