Food Saver Vacuum Packaging to save seeds?
Does anyone use a Food Saver or other vacuum package type product to save seeds? It seems like it would keep the humidity out (I live in the deep south). If you then stored that in a cool dark place would it increase the seed viability opposed to non vacuuming? TIA
I was also considering the mason jar attachment for this (as per the manual they suggest a coffee filter placed ontop of super fine things like flour, or in this case, tiny seeds I would imageine)
I bought myself a foodsaver for christmas just to find that its really quite useless and to expensive to use for half the things it is advertised for.
The mason jar attachment however looks promising, especially since they are reuseable forever.
Though I have not tried it, I would imagine that the vacuum packing would keep the seeds at the exact state in which they were packed. (Similar to how it keeps brown sugar from going hard by losing moisture or going sticky by absorbing too much). The vacume sealer companies list garden seeds as something it keeps "fresher" but after an hour or so searching the net I was unable to find any conclusive evidence lol.
So I am also interested in hearing from anyone that has tried this out.
Hello all,
I do not own a vacuum packer but I am thinking about buying one. I have not been able to come up with a reason to do it yet, until a couple of days ago when I received some seeds from a trade that were vacuum packed. It seemed sort of wasteful the way it was done though, a huge section with only a dozen seeds in it. I am hoping that there is a machine that will allow very small packs not wasting so much of the material. If anyone could reccomenda machine that would do this I would appreciate it.
If you are only saving seeds to be used for the next spring it might be overkill. However, if you are saving seeds that remain viable for years such as Tomatoes (5 years or more) it would probably be a good idea and should extend the life of the seeds.
I don't know about a vacumn sealer, but what I use to get close to vacumn packing is a straw. I put my seeds in a coin envelope and then put the coin envelopes in a zip loc bag...close the bag except for a little space for the straw, then suck out the air from the bag and quickly withdraw the straw and finish sealing the bag. It's not exactly vacumn sealed but pretty close, and a lot less expensive.
I use a vacuum sealer to store all of my tomato seeds and it has worked very well for me.
If you buy the bulk bag material on a roll you can make what ever size bag you need.
The seeds go first into a small paper envolope and then into the vacuum bag.
The vacuum bags are made longer than needed so they can be resealed again after opening.
Hope this helps!
Haven a good day!
I've heard that dry rice can be put into containers to absorb moisture before it get to the material you are trying to keep dry.
Those little stay-dry packets one sometimes get might be another idea. I think I would favor glass containers, but would put it into a ziplock in case the glass broke.
I have vegetable seeds that Mom gave to me many years ago that remain viable. I store them in a 20 gallon foil-lined drum that is air tight. The drum is kept in a cool cellar. The same could possibly be done on a smaller scale with a mason jar with an air-tight lid. The zip-lock bags are not as air-tight, but I keep seed that I will use within a couple of years in zip bags with good results.
Not sure if this will help you or not but there is a video on youtube that gives you a trick on how to basically use any cheap in expensive bag instead of the "original" ones.
The name of the video is: Using inexpensive smooth (non-ribbed) food storage bags and it's posted by: Offgridgeeks. Kirsten.
Best thing I have found for saving seeds are the small 2mil bags on ebay. I get 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 for different seeds and split them into the bags. Your always bound to end up with some bad seed in something and if you say take meyer lemon seed and dry it and place it in 5 bags its nice if one gets overly moldy just chuck it.
I also store all my seed in the fridge door wrapped up tight and in the deep freeze, we have a new deep freeze that keeps ice cream scoop able and not block like. I know some seeds can be saved for 20+ years that way, is how the government seedbanks work. I would call those guys and see if they have any input, I might actually do that myself.
This is an old thread, but I thought I'd put in my 2 cents.
IâÂÂve been using FoodSavers for years for both seed and food storage. I seldom use FoodSaver plastic bags because they are permeable and develop leaksâ¦and you just throw them away. If you have to use bags, mylar is a better choice, but you have to use the trick mentioned by an earlier poster. Look for the YouTube video by Offgridgeeks. It works.
Glass jars are the best choice. They are reusable and arenâÂÂt permeable. Mason jars are available in sizes as small as 4 oz. and as large as ý gallon. FoodSaver makes separate adapters for regular and wide-mouth jars, so be careful when you buy your jars and order the attachment.
You can also use almost any commercial jar with a platisol lid. Those are the jar lids with the inner silicon-type ring on the edge of the top. To seal them, you have to put them inside a mason jar or the canister attachment sold by FoodSaver. There are other workarounds, but I wonâÂÂt go into them here. If you really hate the 2-piece Mason jar lids, you can order 1-piece plastisol lids on-line. The regular-mouth jar lids are 70mm and wide-mouth are 86mm.
In addition to seeds, many DRY food items can be vacuum-sealed and stored for years and even decades, depending on the food type. Items such and beans, legumes and whole grains are wonderful candidates. Pastas, chocolate, dried fruit with very low moisture content, freeze-dried or dehydrated fruits and vegetables store very well. You can double the shelf life of foods such as nuts with a higher oil content.
My husband occasionally comes home with huge sale bags of blue corn chips. I divide them into quart jars and vacuum-seal them. I have kept them up to 18 months and they are still perfectly fresh.
Very fine substances such as flour are poor candidates unless you go to great lengths to contain the fine powder. Unless they are contained, the powder is drawn out between the jar and lid, preventing the jar from sealing completely and the seal will fail. Worse yet, the powder is drawn into the machine which will eventually stop functioning.

The trial production of the $US8-billion iron ore project of China's CITIC Pacific Ltd in Western Australia has again been moved to November, delayed three months later than last announced.
This time the cause of delay was blamed on the failure of the project's main contractor, China Metallurgical Group Corp (MCC), to complete the construction of the magnetite iron ore mine project's processing area by the end of August.
"Based on the most recent meeting with MCC during which another detailed review was conducted, integrated commissioning of the first line is planned to begin in October and trial production is expected to start in November," the company said in a statement.
But "bringing our Sino Iron project into production as soon as possible remains our top priority," the company added.
The Sino Iron project was first expected to go online two years ago in 2010.
Initially a $2.5-billion worth development project, the budget allocation on the project has more than doubled over the past five years, triggered by rising prices for equipment and construction materials, a dearth of skilled labour, and an expansion of the project.
CITIC reported first half profit dropped to $HK5.5 billion ($676 million) from $HK6 billion a year ago, with its steel-making division posting a drop in profits by 63 per cent to $HK524 million.

Scotland Local Customs
Eating / Drinking
When I told one of my friends I was going to Edinburgh, he said "You must try haggis!" I asked him what it was, but he told me (ironically) that I'd better just ordered it in a restaurant in Edinburgh. I looked the meaning up in the Longman dictionary, which read: "haggis: a food eaten in Scotland, made from the heart and other organs of a sheep...more
Local people/language
The presence of 43 university departments of Scots language in German Universities as opposed to zero in English universities somewhat shows up the inequalities of the United Kingdom.Glasgow University has always had its Scots language dept as well as its history dept. and this institution has for centuries been a torch bearer in the...more
Men In Kilts
now you can't come to Scotland and not try the nation's second favourite drink - Irn Bru (Iron Brew). it's made fae girders (not really but it's supposed to give you super human powers - just like this piper has .... hmmm)more
On a warm sunny day's walkabout around Glasgow's west end, and with the World Pipe Band Championships due to take place next weekend, at Glasgow Green, I diverted my explorations into the park, not only to see what's new but also to listen to the pipes and drums....... The park always looks at its best in August, when all the trees have...more
In Leith there is a monument to the whalers, showing a harpoon that was used to hunt whales. This want to remember that they used the fat of whales to illuminate the lighthouse which guided the sailors En Leith hay un monumento a los balleneros , que tienen un arpón de los que se usaban para cazar ballenas Con ello quieren recordar que...more
Football violence - between the fans of 2 teams' supporters - is not limited to Glasgow on the odd occasion when it happens. It happens in every city in Europe. All of these comments are blowing it way out of context and are completely giving the wrong impression. It is a much bigger problem in England. Get over it everybody who keeps commenting on...more
Festival, Tattoo, Hogmanay, Etc.
Before the festival begins, there is a Cavalcade of floats advertising the participants. It was not advertised because of security,but we heard from a friend and made our way to Prince's Street down which the parade would drive. There were already people waiting at noon, though the parade was due to start at 2.30pm. We grabbed good positions near...more
Scotland, while very scenic is famous for the weather being unpredictable. It can change very fast in a short space of time, especially in mountain and sea areas. When packing, always best to ensure for all types of weather. During the summer months, the hours of daylight are long and it may not get dark until after 11pm.more

New Year/Hogmanay
This picture is of fireworks at midnight at George's Square. The Scots really enjoy New Year (Hogmany) and have some of the world's largest parties. It is considered that the first person over the threshold on Hogmany brings luck (especially if they are tall dark and handsome (some chance!!) not many tall Scotsmen let me tell you!. Warning do not...more
Tips For Travellers

Also, consider buying a day pass which allows for unlimited travel on the buses for one day for only £3.00. Finally, be sure to have the exact amount as no change is...more
Art & Culture
Edinburgh has along history of being often at the centre of Scottish art and literary activity - in more modern times film and television have also become apart of the city and the area around it. Many fictional characters have been turned in film and television. On a visit to Edinburgh I encountered this first hand! The photographs show the...more
If you reside outside of the European Union, you will most likely be able to claim back the VAT (value added tax 17.5%) you have paid. Make sure you keep all your receipts. Some shops, selling more expensive goods, operate a scheme for overseas visitors outside the European Union, to sell to you without VAT at the time of buying.more
Instead of going out, we opted to prepare food for ourselves with wholesome organic chicken, fresh vegetables and cheese. It's open every Saturday 2am til 2pm. First Saturday every month, slow food cooking demos for...more
Buildings Etc
Castle Rock is where Edinburgh began. Much damaged and often changing hands in the long and punishing wars of independence against England, Edinburgh Castle began to assume its present appearance in 1356. In the fifteenth century King James III began using the Castle as an ordnance factory - which must have dramatically reduced its desirability as...more
Tours Etc
A stopover at the famous CAITHNESS GLASS FACTORY at PERTH proved to be very fruitful for me. I managed to buy a very special piece (engraved & personalised) for my cousin, Irene's wedding. The Caithness Glass Story: * Opened its first factory in Wick in 1961. * Regarded as one of the foremost makers of handmade glass & introduced engraved...more
In Scotland why don't you try eating a haggis, which consists of heart liver and lungs of a sheep which is minced and mixed with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices, then encased in a sheep's stomach and simmered for 3 hours. It is normally served with neeps and tatties (turnip and potatoes), and traditionally served on Burns Night, the famous poet who...more
THE GLORIOUS 12th
This refers to the 12th August which is the day that the shooting season for grouse begins. The grouse is a small bird but the Scots will get their hunting gear on, their guns cleaned and venture forth to try and shoot the little bird that is not even big enough for a meal!!!more
Burns Night is celebrated throughout Scotland on 25th January, when every Scot will drink whisky and eat haggis. Burns was Scotland's most celebrated poet born Jan 25th 1759 and died in 1796. Many establishments such as hotels and pubs will have a Burns Supper, followed by poetry reading, music and dancing. Burns, himself wrote a famous poet about...more
Scotland's national dish: Haggis, Neeps...
Haggis is the national "sausage" of Scotland, dating back to the ancient Celts. Now, before you judge the Haggis for containing offal, take a moment to consider this: at least the Haggis is honest enough to not lie about its ingredients... but have you ever thought about the exact contents of your burger or sausage? Or that meat pie you're eating?...more
Culinary Blasphemy: the deep-fried Mars...
Deep-fried Mars Bars are said to have been invented in the Haven Chip Bar in Stonehaven, on Scotland's North-East Coast. The first mention of deep-fried Mars Bars was in the summer of 1995.The chocolate needs to be frozen before being dipped in batter and tossed into the deep fryer; otherwise the whole thing comes apart in a melted gooey mess....more
Scotland's very own soundtrack: THE...
I love the sound of bagpipes: I always have, even before I fell in love with a Scotsman and even way before I ever set foot in Scotland. Their haunting sound that carries loud and far always makes the hairs on the back of my neck tingle... in a good way!The bagpipe isn't actually a Scottish instrument: first versions of the instrument can be traced...more
Quintessentially Scottish: SPORRAN
This tip is an extension of my tips written about the KILT and also TARTAN.The Sporran is a traditional part of male Scottish Highland dress. It is a bag that is worn around the waist... a wallet worn with the pocket-less Scottish kilt.It started out as a rather humble bag or pouch, usually carrying some money - but also salt and oats that could be...more
Quintessentially Scottish: THE KILT
Aaaah, the kilt. Where shall I begin? I'm sure I am not the only woman who thinks a man in a kilt is something special. Something nice to look at... yes, even sexy. OK, there, I said it! And I already liked kilts before I was lucky enough to meet, fall in love with and marry a Scotsman :-)The history of the kilt is quite strange, for the modern...more
Quintessentially Scottish: TARTAN
This tip is an extension of my tip about the Scottish Kilt. The typical pattern on a kilt is called a TARTAN. Tartan is a pattern that originated in the Scottish Highlands, consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. This type of pattern is so quintessentially Scottish, that in German we actually call tartan...more
The Flower of Scotland; a resilient...
Officially, Scotland does not have its own national anthem; the United Kingdom's "God save the Queen" is the official anthem. However, since the 1970s "Flower of Scotland" has been adopted as Scotland's unofficial national anthem and I think it's a beautiful song with a haunting melody. (see my Scotland intro page for full lyrics.So, what exactly...more
Recipe for Scottish Whisky & Ginger...
I discovered this recipe a while ago (I think it was actually a cooking programme on Scottish TV...) and everyone I have ever made these for was very happy! The truffles are really easy to make but look very impressive indeed; so these are great as a gift on Burn's Night, Christmas, a Birthday or simply as a little after-dinner treat for your...more
Scots Slang - "havin' a wee blether with...
There's an old traveller's motto: "when in Rome..." meaning that the visitor should try to adapt, integrate and get involved with the local culture, food and language. In Scotland, most residents speak regular modern-day English - but they throw-in numerous funny slang words and colloquialisms that I just find absolutely endearing and fun :-)So,...more
Scots Gaelic - the original language of...
It is estimated that between 60,000 - 80,000 people still speak Scots Gaelic in the United Kingdom. You will also notice that especially in the north of Scotland and the Highlands, street signs and town names are always printed in English AND in Scots Gaelic in order to preserve the original spelling and pronunciation (click on photo) During our...more
"Freeeedom!" Scottish...
"Scottish by birth, British by law, Highlander by the grace of God" - Anonymous.Remember the father figure (played by Michael Constantine) in the 2002 movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding?" He was famous for his undying patriotism & constantly talking about how "the Greeks invented everything" and "all words are derived from the beautiful Greek...more
Low Flyer
I'm not a Scotch drinker, but when in Scotland it is a must. We had the chance to visit the Glenlivet distillery. The tour of the distillery is interesting even for the non-drinker. It can also be included on a historical trip. We also sampled the Famous Grouse while in Scotland… the Low Flying Bird as they call it is definitely a must!more
Anyone for A Scottish Wedding?
Along with whisky, haggis and wild mountain scenery, Scotland carries romantic images of marriages. Its reputation in marriages hails from the days when, thanks to Lord Hardwickes's marriage act of 1754, family law in England and Scotland varied to the extent that couples aged 16 could get married in Scotland without parental consent whereas back...more
Town Galas: Riding of the Marches
Riding of the Marches is a very common annual event in many ancient boroughs of Scotland. In truth it was widespread across the whole of Britain from Medieval times onwards, but the tradition is retained most in the southern part of Scotland.What is now a festival finds its origins in the ancient rituals of marking the boundaries of towns,...more
Hogmanay: Scotland's national festival
Scotland IS the spiritual home of New Year, so much so that January 2nd is also a national holiday. In many communities Hogmanay is a more significant day than Christmas. Indeed I've spent many a Hogmanay in the North West Islands where the entire discussion in the week between Christmas and New Year is taken up with discussions about who is...more
Modern Day Druids - Gathering Wood...
You may think of druids in white robes, perhaps influenced by Lord Of The Rings, but nowadays people of all sorts can be found up trees, gathering herbs and snacks!This is me, up a tree again, harvesting wood sorrel. When fresh, with new leaves, it makes a delicious, mouth watering snack.It looks like a three leaved shamrock / clover and grows all...more
National Costume - Kilts and Football...
The image of Scotland is Tartan and men in Kilts - as in the picture.Scottish Tartan Web link: http://www.scottishtartans.org/It is common to see men in these tartan skirts ;-) for weddings, special occassions and in military pipebands but not often seen amongst the common man.A kilt uses 9m of cloth, so is quite heavy and very expensive - a new...more
Scottish beer
After the Whisky, there is of course the Scottish beer, they have rather many and I can't remember all that I have tasted, but one particular that I like is this Belhaven. I remember it well because I can now get it from the tap on my own local pub :)more

Those of you that know me are aware of the fact that I'm just bonkers about animals... so here's a special tip from my heart to you - to friends of all things 4-legged & furry ;-)Most of us have heard of the famous West-Highland Terrier, or the quirky-looking Scottish Fold Cat... but there are plenty more famous breeds that originated in...more
Scottish Scones - how to make &...
I didn't know what scones were before I met my Scotsman. Nowadays, I think they're a fantastic tea-time treat that is very versatile: plain, savory or sweet with raisins - make your favourite and enjoy :-)The origin of the name 'scone' is unclear - but they did first appear in Scotland in the 1500s. Some say the name comes from where the Kings of...more
Scottish Oatcakes (Bannocks) - that...
Savoury oatcakes (or bannocks) are quintessentially Scottish. An oatcake is a thin, flat, crisp biscuit - perfect with some hearty cheese, smoked salmon & dill or chutney, they are an essential component to any cheeseboard or also fantastic eaten alongside a steaming bowl of homemade soup.Oatcakes are widely considered to be the national bread of...more
Highland Cattle
The incredibly cuddly Highland Cattle are one of the attractions of every Scotland journey and one of the oldest races of domestic animals. Still, it is advisable not to have too close contact with them, especially when they have young calves. We once had to hike through a herd of Highland Cattle who became very skittish at our approach.more
Pipe bands, summer fetes and mods
Throughout the summer, towns and villages have their fete or gala. The streets are decorated with bunting and flowers. The festivities last a week or less. Sometimes a local girl is chosen as the Carnival or Gala Queen and there will be a procession with a 'crowning ' ceremony. Different activities take place in towns and villages , usually...more
Don't like whisky? Try REAL SCOTTISH...
When in Scotland everyone will tell you to try a real Single Malt Whisky... well, I'm not a huge fan of whisky and if you feel the same, another fantastic thing to try is a real Scottish ale (beer).In recent years there has been a huge increase in micro breweries across Scotland producing ale the old fashioned way. All real ales are predominantly...more
Celtic Knotwork, the Luckenbooth & other...
Most of us are probably only used to seeing Celtic knots as hip and funky tattoos these days, but there is a fascinating history to these beautiful designs:Many ancient cultures used interlacing designs but none developed them to the complexity attained by the clans / tribes of the Celtic world (Scotland, Ireland & Wales) during the 6th to 8th...more
IRN BRU: "Scottishness" in a can
Irn Bru (pronounced as Iron Brew) is a carbonated bright orange-coloured soft drink, and besides whisky proudly known as "Scotland's other National drink."

Coming soon to a shopping centre, all near you — highrises as far as the eye can see, brought to you by rapid transit.
House hunters looking for extra-large homes will find them in Richmond. Here are 10 homes of over 6,000 square feet now listed for sale in Richmond
With Vancity projecting that the average Vancouver detached house will cost more than $2.1 million by 2030 and require more than 100 per cent of the median household income to maintain the debt, it would seem very difficult for most people to buy one. Payments on the average detached house in Metro now require more than 48 per cent of the median household monthly income, while Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation recommends a debt load of no higher than 32 per cent of income to be affordable, says the Vancity report Downsizing the Canadian Dream: Homeownership Realities for Millennials and Beyond.
Transit plebiscite voters are being told more tax revenue is needed annually to meet anticipated service demands from one million new residents arriving by 2041. That message, from the region's mayors, has prompted some Lower Mainlanders to start thinking about moats and drawbridges.
If housing prices continue to rise unchecked in Vancouver, the average detached home will cost more than $2.1 million by 2030 and require more than 100 per cent of the median household income to maintain, according to a new report from Vancity.
Seven years ago, Baljit Grewal and her father Sukhdev Saini relocated their family's wedding services shop from Vancouver to Surrey. They made the move among a rising wave of Indo-Canadian business owners who, today, continue to move to a section of Newton from Vancouver's Main Street — the region's now lagging hub of Indian culture and commerce. "We never regretted it because parking was the main issue there on Main," Grewal said in an interview at their shop in the Payal Business Centre on 128th Street in Newton. "Parking here is not a problem, and secondly, it saves us a lot of commute time. Also, the prices that we were paying in rent on Main Street kept increasing."
Richmond is the latest Metro Vancouver municipality to battle the rise of the monster home. A staff report was expected to be presented to city council Monday night suggesting measures to plug a loophole in the municipal bylaws that have allowed three-storey mansions to crop up in older residential neighbourhoods, such as West Richmond, where zoning stipulates 2½ storeys.
Community Development Minister Coralee Oakes discusses the firing of Auditor General for Local Government Basia Ruta.
Digital Life writer Gillian Shaw a new personal thermal imaging camera. See in the dark with the FLIR thermal imaging camera for Apple and Android phones. The FLIR One personal thermal imaging camera attaches to your iPhone or Android phone and lets you take thermal images - capturing heat signatures so you can see in the dark. Whether it's keeping an eye on your campsite, finding hidden pipes in a home renovation, or checking the efficiency of a furnace when you're buying a house, the FLIR One personal thermal imaging camera is a useful tool with capabilities usually only found in cameras costing much more.
This two-storey-plus-basement home was built in 2001 by Park Ridge Homes and forms part of Cloverdale's Westside Terrace neighbourhood. It has four bedrooms on the top floor, an open-concept main level and a finished basement with two additional bedrooms.
Vancouver's mayor wants the provincial government to overhaul rental legislation, as Vancouver grapples with an affordable housing crisis, low vacancy rates and renovictions.
For the last few years, urban planner Andy Yan, a demographer with Bing Thom Architects, has been sending me his annual map of the city of Vancouver showing the assessed values of the city's single-family residences. Included here is this year's edition, the fourth of its kind.
VICTORIA: Like a bespoke suit that's perfectly measured, cut and tailored, this elegant penthouse, recently purchased by a Calgary couple, has a refined and chic ambience.
Character homes may be on the verge of becoming an endangered species in parts of Vancouver's west side, but they're still very much in demand among local buyers.
There's plenty of activity in the new-home scene at the moment — right across Metro Vancouver. Sales centres throughout the region are welcoming visitors, and showcasing beautifully dressed display suites designed to demonstrate the residential possibilities.
According to listing agent Robin McInnis, this Kitsilano home boasts a celebrity flavour, as it was one of the options for potential buyers in an upcoming episode of Love It or List It Vancouver. The house was built in 2003 and renovated in 2012.
SEATTLE — Seattle's Columbia Center, the curved black office tower that's the city's tallest building, is poised to go on the market as its owners seek to tap into robust demand for U.S. real estate.
Chinese buyers are snapping up some of the most exclusive real estate in the Lower Mainland. The latest jaw-dropping sale was a $51.8-million mansion on three lots, one of which overlooks the ocean.
Rock-bottom interest rates, a scarcity of supply and growing demand from millennials and wealthy immigrants have fuelled a strong start to the spring real estate season in Toronto and Vancouver.
A former mayor of Penticton, member of the province's legislature and cabinet minister has died at the age of 83.

I made it trying to mainly suit my needs and preferences, but I'm open to suggestions specially since the widget still has space and I ran out of creativity to fill it.
It has the apps I commonly use separated into entertainment on the top layer and work and useful on the bottom. With a few tweaks here and there you can make it by our own and put your own apps there.
I made it cause I don't actually like the categories of the themer app but still wanted my apps close and accessible on the main screen.
There's also a battery sign that shows when the battery is low and you should turn Energy Saving on and that reminds you to turn it off when you plug it to the charger.
Please do point anything I could do to improve it.

C Plus - Deep
Artist: C Plus
Producer: REL
Album: L.O.C.A.L.
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 4 votes )
As many emcees have observed over the years, the added complexities success brings into your life are liable to make you nostalgic for simpler times. Now that he's gotten his first taste of the spotlight, Sac-Town rhymesayer C-Plus has come to agree with their assessment. "Sh*t gets Deep," he warns us on a new single off his forthcoming sophomore set. Beatsmith REL's airy keyboard loops swirl in the back as the artist describes the stress, paranoia, and lost sleep he's experienced as a result of his overtime grind. Despite it all, though, he remains as confident in his skills and dedicated to the hustle as ever. For Deep and many more fresh cuts, check out C-Plus' L.O.C.A.L. (Loyalty Over Cash And Luxury) LP when it drops digitally on Tuesday, June 11.
