Richmond-based rapper Tennishu’s music stands out among the crowd, utilizing orchestral arrangements and instruments to complement his lyrics, a phenomenon once again mastered in his latest release, “Just Enough.”
Tennishu has been producing, recording, and performing his own music for the last decade. He is a lyricist and rapper, as well as skilled at both the trumpet and saxophone, and has self-released a number of recordings. He also plays full-time as a member of the “progressive powerhouse,” Butcher Brown.
“Just Enough” features strong, orchestral sounds. The introduction offers nuance to the track, perfectly pairing alongside the powerful vocals.
Just Enough to get to get by
Now the people maad as fuck you wonder why
Now you in the corner stuck me oh my
If it’s in yo eye then you gotta try
Fans of The Notorious B.I.G and Sons Of The James should check out Tennishu’s unique sonic explorations.

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
