On his last album Anime, Trauma, and Divorce Chicago-bred/LA-based rapper Open Mike Eagle gave us rare a glimpse into his innermost thoughts and feelings. As the album title suggests he was processing quite a bit in the midst of a pandemic. Having bared his soul Mike now seems to be signaling he's back to rappin' rappin' on his latest release Component System With The Auto Reverse, which drops Oct. 7th via Auto Reverse Records.

Everything about M.E.D.'s demeanor says he's just one of the homies. Despite sharing track space with bonafide rap legends he comes across chill and down to earth. On this weeks episode of the Dad Bod Rap Pod hosts Demone Carter, David Ma, and Nate LeBlanc talk to M.E.D. about working with hip hop royalty like Madlib and MF Doom as well as his new collaborative project LMD with LMNO and Declaime.

2022/09/22

Once an interview starts you are never really sure where its going to go. Some artist can be understandably closed and guarded preferring to only talk about themselves in terms of their artistry. In a handful of cases an artist gives us a window into their personal journey. This week's conversation with Louis Logic is one of those interviews. After gaining traction in the early/mid aughts and working with legends like MF DOOM Louis Logic seemingly fell off the rap radar for several years. He fills

After recording 200+ episodes of the Dad Bod Rap Pod we can say with confidence that women are the best interviewees. Our conversation with CMG of Conscious Daughters is definitive proof. CMG was witty, engaging, and gave us great insights into the Bay Area rap scene of the mid-nineties which birthed Conscious Daughters. After a chance meeting with Paris which led to a record deal with his Guerrilla Funk imprint, Conscious Daughters created an all-time Bay Area classic joint (Something To Ride To)

2022/08/04

Those who listen to the podcast regularly may notice that we have a deep affinity for all things Chicago hip hop. Last week we checked in with Chi-town's king of living Vic Spenser and this week we talk to Windy City producer Maker. If you have heard the theme song to the hit sitcom Abbott Elementary you have heard Makers work but he has been a fixture in the underground for a couple of decades now.

Dynamic duos have always held a special place in rap history. We needn't rattle off the iconic rapper/producer combos because we all know the potential alchemy that exist between rhyme spitter and the beat maker. On their newest collaboration Mudslide, Chicago rapper Vic Spencer and Philadelphia producer Small Professor come together and tap into that legacy of one rapper one producer magic. We were fortunate to have both Vic and Small Pro on the show this week to talk about the new album, annoying

2022/07/21

As rap music continues to mature as an art form more rappers are telling their stories on the page as opposed to just on the mic. We were fortunate to have Chicago-based rapper Psalm One join us this week to talk about her new book Her Word Is Bond (which is out now via Haymarket books). Part memoir, part music journalism, Her Word is Bond takes an unflinching look at underground hip hop culture through the eyes of a queer Black woman. Psalm talked to us about the process of making the book and how

A love letter to the city of Los Angeles? A ode to the letter J? J Rocc's new album "A Wonderful Letter" is both of these and more. Hosts Demone Carter and David Ma chop it up with the world famous Beat Junkie about his incredible career and his first new album in over a decade.

WE MAAADE IT to 227 episodes, and while we have talked about Ghostface Killah's masterpiece Supreme Clientele at various times, we have not devoted a full episode to discussing what makes it such a vital and influential rap album.

We are very excited to speak with returning guest E L U C I D, who recently dropped the challenging and excellent album I Told Bessie with a stellar cast of producers. We are huge fans of E L U C I D's work both solo and as part of the mighty Armand Hammer and we always want to interrogate his procedures and intentions as he crafts experimental (some might say psychedelic) underground rap music with intricate flows and incredible word choices and emotional resonance. In the opening segment we

As Willard Smith once famously said, it's summertime. It was just the summer solstice, but more importantly, today I had a peach so juicy I had to eat it over the sink. How does a hip-hop head mark the changing of the seasons? In our case, we switch up the playlist. In the intro segment our hosts recommend some summery songs. Next up we have an interview with Bay Area underground rapper L*Roneous Da Versifier, who has been in the rap game for decades and remains a vital artist. Tune in to hear about

Normally we have an interview with a rapper, producer, or a writer. On this week's episode we are talking to Namir Blade, a performer who rejects such limiting labels and prefers to be referred to as an artist. He just released a new album, Metropolis on Mello Music Group and we are intrigued by his utilization of multiple vocal techniques, his production prowess, and his general swag. In the opening segment we begin to reckon with ELUCID's massive new album I Told Bessie. Demone in particular has
