"I'm new at this."
The first words of Martell Webster's ARTT, his new mixtape from EYRST Music, are less about qualifying his work and more a realization that, damn, he's a natural. And it makes sense. Music has been with him from the beginning.

Martell joined Weekend Podcast host Chris Lucia and me earlier today (the episode drops tomorrow), chatting about basketball and his latest project in a string of musical efforts: he's performed at the music festival South by Southwest, has rapped over live bands, produced music videos, and is finalizing his first full album, Emerald District, an homage to his hometown of Seattle where his uncle used to invite over friends, set up his three-piece kit, and just play.
