I won't spoil this in case it is a surprise, but if you are familiar with this genre of music and have a guess as to who is at the center of the graph, the most connected person in all of Yacht Rock, your guess is almost certain to be correct. Also don't miss this wonderful parody series: [this video] If you previously saw the old low-definition videos, these are remastered HD versions, well worth a re-watch. Stay smooth, everyone.
