Santo Gold. Never heard of him? Neither have we, but apparently the Baltimore based jeweler and filmmaker born Santo Rigatuso will be causing quite a change to our iTunes libraries, and more importantly, the career of Brooklyn singer/songwriter better known, or should I say, formerly known as Santogold.

Akron/Family goes wild and free…
For a band that has already seen so much success in such a short amount of time, one wouldn’t think Akron/Family would be looking to change things up.
