St. Louis emcee Bleach Stain hit me with "Hard Times," the lead single from The Incomporable Mind Of Mr. Stain, his followup to 2010's The Demented Mind Of Mr. Stain. I'm loving his production on this one and I'll let his own words serve as his proper G.U.E. introduction:
For the past few months I've been at an odd place with music...more emotion than I ever intended to surface made their way onto this new tape. "Hard Times" was written right after a break up I went through and the drama that followed. "Hardtimes" has always been a phrase we use to describe a catch 22 situation. "If there is nothing you can do, you have to move on." Lyrically, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Consider "Hard Times" the Memento to my Inception. - Bleach Stain a.k.a. BeunTe
