Andy Boonstra, the producer and beatmaker for Omaha hip-hop group Purveyors of the Conscious Sound, is working on a new video mini-series called Pick, Flip n’ Spit!. Boonstra says the series will focus on “local producers and lyricists.” The first episode is on YouTube now, and features Boonstra along with PCS bandmate Jake Dawson on a record shopping trip to Kanesville Kollectibles and subsequently working on beats and lyrics. More to come.
