A short form remark on the current state of the Montana music scene through the eyes of the host, TR. with real life comparisons and experiences. This episode is for the community. Made with love and intention.

Mellow Mike and R'Know bring you the Scratch Soup EP, a sampler of sorts, presenting an array of fresh beats and rhymes to heal the mind, body, and soul. Chopped and blended by head chef Mellow, his choice of herbs and samples pair nicely with R'Know's flavor and introspective rhymes. The result is a hearty serving of Scratch Soup, a short but flavorful dish meant to keep heads nodding and minds fed.

Hello! Welcome back! Thanks you for tuning into The Rhythmic Resonance Podcast, this is your host TR. and this week, I sat down with Zak James.

Zak is a local Montana artist from Helena, MT that has been involved with the music scene for over a decade. Creating Pop and Funky hits to diving deep with introspective and heavy lyrical content, Zak is a multifaceted creative that stands out as one of MT’s best in the recent years. Truly a personal favorite.

As Season 1 comes to a close, I wouldn’t want anyone else to be featured on the final episode. I’ve been following Zak’s career since 2018, seen him perform quite a few times and I greatly appreciate his raw talent and authenticity whenever I get the chance to talk with him.

But before I say too much, here’s Zak James, on The Rhythmic Resonance Podcast, Episode #25 at Area 41 Collective.
