05/12/21 • 34 min

This week I host Max Ernst and his twin brother Spencer, the musical brain-children behind the beats in their band SHAED with lead singer Chelsea Lee. As they've been building fans and their catalog, we sit down to discuss growing up, the effects of the pandemic and their upcoming album High Dive due out Friday! It has no doubt been an insane emotional roller-coaster for them and they open up about anxiety, pressure, happiness and reassurance as they know others who listen, will relate. As the world around them begins to heal, they want to increase transparency about the road they walked together. Please enjoy!

118: Eric Bobo (Cypress Hill)

This week on the podcast I am honored to have percussionist Eric Bobo on the podcast. Before he became known as a member of Cypress Hill, and before he performed with the Beastie Boys, we chat about how he took over as director of his late father’s Latin jazz band. Legendary percussionist Willie Bobo, who played alongside iconic artists like Tito Puente (with whom he received mentorship from) and Carlos Santana, might be best known for his contributions to the Latin Jazz genre, but he was also one of the most influential musicians to the early years of hip-hop. It's an all encompassing discussion that leads up to the new body of work 'Empires' with Stu Bangas, which is out now!

120: Edo.G & Insight Innovates

Edo. G & Insight Innovates swing by the podcast this week to chat about their self-titled debut album. Very grateful for the opportunity to chat with them because as a hiphop lover I realize that this is the culmination of decades of friendship and collaboration, birthed from childhood memories and the early days of the Boston rap scene. We talk about all the various factors throughout the years that led up to this point, as both artists sound as hungry and passionate as ever while they deliver one of the year’s best releases to date. For Edo and Insight, that meant more than just “boom-bap” sounds or tight lyricism—it meant bringing everything to the table, including next-level lyricism. As I soon realized by talking to them, it was part of their shared goal to make a dope hip-hop album that reflects who they are and what they’re about. Enjoy the show.
