Good Ol’ Boyz, Viral Country-Rap Duo, Release New EP Sutter’s Mill – A Tribute to Gold Country Roots & Real-Life Values

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — EKC PR is proud to announce the release of Sutter’s Mill, the newest EP from underground country-rap duo Good Ol’ Boyz, known for their viral hit “Country to the City.” The five-track release marks the second installment in a trilogy that began with Old Hangtown and will conclude later this year with Dry Diggins.

“With Sutter’s Mill, we continue a journey that began with Old Hangtown,” says the duo. “This trilogy is a heartfelt homage to our home and the rich history of these California Gold Rush towns. We wanted to preserve their memory through our music, sharing the stories of this land.”

The EP features five original tracks—“Tell Her I’m Gone,” “All Gas No Break Pt. 2 (Extended),” “My Inlaws Don’t Like My Outlaw,” “Prison Break (Let Me Out),” and “The Situation”—each delivering a unique blend of storytelling, grit, and humor. The project also includes the song “Tell Her I’m Gone,” a barroom anthem about a working man sneaking in one last drink before heading home.

“For us, Sutter’s Mill isn’t just about the music; it’s a reflection of our values,” the group explains. “We find immense joy in the small things—a loyal dog on the porch, good company, and the freedom to create. While we’re incredibly grateful for any success that comes our way, our happiness isn’t tied to extravagance.”

Since their breakout moment with 2014’s “Country to the City,” which has now earned over 33 million YouTube views and 10 million Spotify streams, Good Ol’ Boyz have built a loyal following across rural and urban audiences alike. With Sutter’s Mill, they double down on the idea that music can be both entertaining and deeply rooted in meaning.

“This album, like our lives, is about finding the gold in the everyday moments,” they add. “We believe in living within our means, cherishing genuine connections, and giving back when we can.”

Sutter’s Mill is now available on all major streaming platforms. The final chapter in the trilogy, Dry Diggins, is scheduled for release later this year.

EKC PR Signs Actress Greta Quispe, Who Guest Stars on CBS’ Matlock, February 20

LOS ANGELES, California, February 20, 2025 / PRNewswire — EKC PR proudly announces its newest client, rising actress Greta Quispe, who is set to make her Matlock debut as a guest star on the CBS legal drama airing Thursday, February 20, at 9 PM ET/PT.

Starring alongside Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates, Greta takes on a compelling role in the series, which has quickly become a standout addition to CBS’ primetime lineup.

CBS took notice of Greta’s undeniable talent, as she has steadily built an impressive career with guest star appearances in both television and film. Her recent credits include the Oscar-nominated American Fiction, where she acted opposite Jeffrey Wright, and the Apple Original film Sharper, starring Julianne Moore.

“I feel so honored to share the screen with Kathy Bates,” says Greta Quispe. “She is someone I have admired for years, and this experience was beyond what I could have imagined.”

Born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Greta’s journey into acting was anything but conventional. With unwavering support from her parents, she pursued her craft from a young age, despite financial obstacles. Her first agent took her on with nothing but a Polaroid, recognizing her raw talent. In a stroke of luck, her father later won $250 in the lottery, which he immediately handed to Greta so she could afford her first professional headshots.

Greta’s faith and perseverance have guided her through an ever-evolving industry, and Matlock marks yet another milestone in her career. She hopes to continue bringing meaningful stories to the screen while inspiring others to pursue their dreams against the odds.

Be sure to catch Greta Quispe’s guest appearance on Matlock, airing Tuesday, February 20, at 9 PM ET/PT on CBS.

EKC PR Announces the Release of CIA Drugs R Us! — A New Documentary Uncovering Covert Government Operations Targeting Musicians and Activists

LOS ANGELES, October 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EKC PR proudly announces the release of filmmaker John Potash’s highly anticipated documentary, CIA Drugs R Us!, continuing his deep dive into the CIA’s covert use of drugs as tools for social control. Set to release on October 8, 2024, the film builds on the themes explored in Potash’s earlier work Drugs as Weapons Against Us, and will premiere on platforms such as Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, and Google TV. A special edition DVD, featuring over 18 minutes of bonus content, is also available for pre-order at major retailers including Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

The documentary takes an investigative look into how U.S. intelligence employed mind-altering substances through the infamous MK-Ultra program to influence musicians, activists, and social movements. Potash uncovers how figures such as John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and Tupac Shakur were targeted in efforts to undermine their impact on countercultural and activist movements, shedding new light on covert government activities.

“This film is about exposing the hidden forces that have used drugs to manipulate and suppress influential voices,” says Potash. “These operations had—and still have—profound effects on society.”

In addition to examining how drugs were used to target individuals, the documentary delves into the CIA’s involvement with larger social movements, including the Black Panthers, SDS, and the Manson Family. It also connects to scandals such as the Maryland Catholic Church sex abuse cases featured in the Emmy-nominated series The Keepers.

Produced with meticulous detail, the documentary offers authenticity through archival footage, expert commentary, and rare documents. Potash’s research includes evidence from firsthand accounts and newly discovered materials that reveal the extent of U.S. intelligence agencies’ role in shaping history through the use of drugs.

The film is expected to spark important discussions about the lasting implications of these hidden agendas in today’s world.
