Fugees – Ready or Not (Marc Allred Cover)
I’ve always loved the Fugees. Ever since I was a band geek in Kahuku High School, trying to memorize rhymes after band practice in the 90’s, I’ve loved them. So when I sat down this winter and started playing Ready or Not on my loop station, I was blown away at how many of the lyrics I remembered! This song is now in heavy rotation in my live set and I wanted to make sure I shared it with you. Now go share it with your friends!🤘🏻
