Maybe Youth can produce his first four albums. See where that goes first, before summoning any "dark forces."


This is who he reminds of a bit, a song I really like, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7YP4k7rMuc

 
Blessed are the Cracked for

Man, he's got everything to do it with: skills, talent, and the spirit.
