Intro (0:00).

Beginning of Episode (0:55).

In Episode 44, we are joined by a special guest, the hilarious and clever 2 Dolla Will who is a member of The Blicky Boyz, and is legitimately one of the funniest artists I have ever heard. With a prolific work ethic boasting many projects under his belt... most notably Red Snow 5, an album that was released on March 26th, 2021... co-starring the Blicky Boyz and Iceberg Theory (friend of the show, who I interviewed earlier this year in Ep. 28).

We first dive into 2 Dolla's origin story, and the key influences that shaped the artist's comedic rap stylings (2:49).

Next, we discuss why 2 Dolla Will and 'soccer moms' have such a special connection (14:34).

Will gives some insight into how his lyrical approach evolved into the stream of consciousness hilarity that it is today (17:05).

2 Dolla then discusses what the overall intention or objective he has in mind when creating his music (21:04).

Hailing from Butte, Montana, Will speaks on his hometown and why he feels it's important to properly represent where he's from (23:59).

Next, we discuss 2 Dolla's recent album, Red Snow 5, and how his approach to this album was different than his previous work (28:07).

We then go on a tangent related to wack rap fans who are stuck in the past... who may or may not be fans of R.A. The Rugged Man (32:48).

2 Dolla discusses how his relationship with the other Blicky Boyz members and Iceberg Theory developed, as they play co-starring roles on Red Snow 5 (40:22).

Will gives us more insight into his stream of consciousness rap recording process (49:56).

We then discuss Will's choice to distribute his music mainly on Bandcamp, and why other independent artists should consider making the most of this platform (51:58).
