Listen/Watch on: Apple Podcasts / Spotify / YouTube

Listening to the latest album of today’s guest, PremRock, is more than just a great experience. It feels like spending time with an old friend. That saying, coined by the great Dan-O of Freemusicempire, couldn't be more spot on a descriptor for PremRock’s latest opus, Did You Enjoy Your Time Here…?

PremRock’s lyrics are immaculately written, treating the listener with melancholic existential reflections that have a way of grounding you in a lucid state of calm, On top of that, the guest list is an all-star cast of collaborators we’ve grown to know and love in the Backwoodz universe, who provide the canvasses and guest verses to elevate this album to indelible heights.

Did You Enjoy Your Time Here…? is one of the best albums of the decade.

So it’s of course an honour to have the man of the hour, PremRock, here to speak on his mindset creating this latest album, how vulnerability is his superpower, and much more!

Andddd… if you’re in Toronto on April 17th, join us at BSMT254 to see him and friends perform this album live! Your boy might also be making his DJ debut that night too, so it’ll be a night to remember!
