Jason Richardson offers gravity-defying sweeps and insane two-handed tapping aplenty in new single, Ishimura

After teaming up with Polyphia axeman Tim Henson for a dazzling new single, Upside Down, last month, Jason Richardson has offered up another shred-heavy track, Ishimura. Like Upside Down, the song again features Luke Holland on drums, laying down laser-precise beats behind Richardson's stunning seven-string guitar work, which ranges from weighty low-register riffs, fiery two-handed tapping, out-of-this-world time signature-fluid sweeps and even the odd Gojira-style pick scrape.

As Warriors' Andrew Wiggins deals with trade rumors, Jason Richardson has some advice

If anyone can understand the rampant trade rumors and unsubstantiated scuttlebutt that Andrew Wiggins is about to endure, it’s Jason Richardson. The Warriors’ fan favorite went from being the No. 5 overall pick in 2001 to being jettisoned to afterthought Charlotte in a 2007 cap-saving deal, six weeks after he had just provided the soul to the “We Believe” run.
