Real weirdos are hard to find.
Sure there are rappers who attempt to project strangeness but the vast majority come across inauthentic or unlistenable (or both). Every so often a true eccentric grabs the mic and reorients our ideas about how wavy this art form can be. Fatboi Sharif is one such artist. Verbose, macabre, and enigmatic the New Jersey rapper has amassed a devoted following over the past couple years by releasing a string of authentically weird joints with producers like Roper Williams and Lungs/Lonesword.
His latest offering Preaching in Havana is a collaboration with producer Noface. The duo have crafted a project that is eerie and unsettling in all the right ways. Hosts Nate Le Blanc and David Ma talk to Sharif and Noface about how Havana came into being and the mystique they have both cultivated.
During the into segment Demone and Nate talk about Eminem’s Rock and Rock Hall of Fame Induction and the tragic passings of Tame One and Hurricane G.
