Episode Info

  • Episode197
This week we are pleased to have the opportunity to speak with Rob Sonic, a talented MC/producer who has been active in independent hip-hop for decades as a solo artist and in groups like Sonic Sum and Hail Mary Mallon. In this wide-ranging conversation we cover his influences, writing style, and recently-released album Latrinalia. DBRP hosts Nate and Dave are huge fans of Rob's early work in Sonic Sum and the textured, poetic take on underground hip-hop that the group represented. This episode, like the others, is brought to you by Stony Island Audio, which feels kind of an indie hip-hop label in that we do this for the love of the culture but occasionally get mentioned in a magazine or a Spotify wrapped list.
