Urban Vinyl Daily Interview

I have the honor of being Urban Vinyl Daily's featured artist of the month:

After a drought of not bringing the loyal readers interviews with artists within the community, we thought we’d come back with a bang and make our next interview a big one. We happy to announce that our latest interview is with the one and only Greg “Craola” Simkins who has imagination that only some of us can dream of. We are happy to have caught Craola when he had a little time to spare to allow us all a little inside the inner workings of his mind. So, without further ado, we bring you the interview with Greg “Craola” Simkins HERE.
