Washington, DC producer duo The Other Guys share their instrumental album  “Summer ‘92” , check out the words from Mighty Joe about the inspiration for the release and enjoy!!! “Summer ‘92” is out now. This one’s for my father and Isaiah’s, both of them are on the cover. My pops passed last year from dementia. Putting this tape together was part of the healing. Digging through records. Remembering his voice. Looping grief, memory, and love into something that could last. Summer ‘92 is what it sounds like when you're holding on — and letting go at the same time. Thank you for listening . - Mighty Joe Summer '92 (Instrumental Album) by The Other Guys
