Beats Around The Bush, Episode 02: Def Jef Jam

In our second Beats Around The Bush-isode, we're (re-?)introducing the world to the joyous, winking, horny turn-of-the-nineties sound of Jeffrey Fortson, aka Def Jef. We're also remembering Def Leppard, early Law & Order: Mothership, regrettable t-shirts of freshman year, and Gowanus Bob. Grab a lemon-lime bev and prepare to have your vision corrected with an all-new episode of MASTAS!

Our intro is Messrs. Kid 'N Play, and our outro is Shaquille O'Neal featuring Def Jef. ("...Psych!!") (...jk, it is in fact Shaq.) To contact us or buy our books, visit MarkAndSarahTalkAboutSongs.com. To become a patron of the show, visit patreon.com/mastas.
