**Search For Sight** is a **Missouri **classic folk rock band that was formed by**
Jeff Grady** and **Kelly Matthews** who are both blind. The band’s central goal 
is to raise funds to find a cure for the eye disease retinitis pigmentosa, also 
known as RP that is robbing them of their vision. All the profilts from the two 
albums they have released (_Too Many Goodbyes_ – Feb, 2012 and _See You Around_ –
Oct, 2012) go towards this much needed research.

“Six O’Clock” – **Search For Sight** from _See You Around_

“Lost In The Sand” – **Search For Sight** from _See You Around_

Purely by coincidence, we also received singles from a new release this week by **
Prinz-D**, who calls himself the “first deaf rapper.” We have no way to verify or
not that claim, but we do think his new single demonstrates clearly that a hear-
impaired artist, especially nowadays thanks to technology and the Internet. Prinz-
D took speech therapy to improve as a recording artist growing through the years
and now believes his new LP, _First Deaf Rapper Vol 2_, will be the step in the 
right direction in gaining a significant following.

“Kick Em to the Curb” – **Prinz D** with **Rob The Rockstar** from _First Deaf Rapper
Vol 2_

“Shawty Like Me” – **Prinz D** with **Rob The Rockstar** from _First Deaf Rapper
Vol 2_
