We are blessed to be joined this week by some old and new friends of the program that are making vital rap music right now. First up we have a group interview with Wrecking Crew, a conglomerate that consists of producer Small Professor and MCs Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro and Prem Rock. They are all return guests on DBRP and are here to tell us a bit more about their recent album Sedale Threat. Make sure to tap in with the Wrecking Crew and all of their affiliated projects including their podcast Call Out Culture. We consider Call Out Culture to be kind of like a sister program, we are all thinking and talking about similar music, and in fact that is where we became aware of our next guests, the incendiary duo Brian Ennals & Infinity Knives. The Baltimore-based Ennals is one of the most incisive dissectors of the issues facing America today and he relays his angry yet well written lyrics over production from the classically trained composer Infinity Knives. The result is a new sound, a refreshing take on issue-oriented underground hip-hop that makes us think of groups like The Coup. but stands on its own as a new thing entirely. Dad Bod Rap Pod is a proud part of the Stony Island Audio network.
The legendary Heartbreakers guitar player talks meeting most of his heroes, the “it’s just the normal noises” intro to the Heartbreakers classic “Even the Losers,” and gratitude.
