#125 - billy woods & Messiah Musik - Church REVIEW

Vulnerability is an interesting concept. The more vulnerable you get, the likelihood of you achieving true happiness and connection rises... just as the likelihood you get deeply hurt and traumatized rises as well.

In other words, vulnerability is a double-edged sword.

Vulnerability is the only true path to acceptance, healing, and growth.

This is the path that we find billy woods on in his latest album Church, in collaboration with producer phenom Messiah Musik.

Album artwork and the visual side of hip-hop has always played a key role in how music lovers engaged with the art form.

In today’s episode we are joined by someone who’s work has provided visuals for some of rap’s finest. From legends such as Prodigy, Clipse, DJ Premier, The Alchemist, and most notably as of late, many Backwoodz Studioz artists such as Armand Hammer and ShrapKnel.

I hope you enjoy today’s illuminating conversation with the incredibly talented photographer and film director, Alexander Richter.

#115 - E L U C I D INTERVIEW

Picking the brain of the artist who created Paraffin, Save Yourself, Haram and most recently I Told Bessie, would’ve sounded like a pipe dream just a year and a half ago...

But now, off the strength of the love and support you the listener have provided me, I was able to sit down with South Jamaica Queen’s E L U C I D for an interview in Ep. 115 of the show.

We dove deep into his one-of-a-kind lyricism, his creative relationship with billy woods, his spirituality, and his latest album of the year contender, I Told Bessie.

Simply put, this was a fantastic conversation with one of the best rappers of all time.

The long-awaited RMPP review of billy woods' Aethiopes is finally upon us.
