It was pouring out that night, and Judah was running late to his cellar spots on a typically busy three spot night. He was also going up at the Village Underground and The Stand. In true world champ fashion, one minute he was there, and the next he disappeared into the night.

But before he was gone he told us  “I’m doing a mix of new stuff right now. Tweaking the Oscars bit, working on filming my own feature length or one hour + album special soon. But yeah, a lot of  new stuff as well as adding onto that I already have.”
