Sign Crushes Motorist: The Enigmatic 19-Year-Old with 14 Aliases & 100M+ Streams
Explicit content warning
09/29/24 • 57 min
In the first interview of the new season, I sit down with the elusive and innovative Sign Crushes Motorist, aka Liam Mccay. At just 19 years old, Liam has amassed hundreds of millions of streams across multiple projects, all while staying completely independent—no manager, no label, no PR. Yet, he’s created a huge impact in the slowcore music scene and beyond, with 14 different aliases to his name.
Despite barely doing any interviews, Liam has gained a cult following with countless YouTube essays dedicated to breaking down his lore and TikTok reactions to his music. His upcoming joint album with KayCyy (who’s worked with Kanye West, Travis Scott, and Lil Wayne) is pushing him into totally new and exciting territory.

B+, The Limerick Photographer That Has Worked With J Dilla, MF DOOM, Kendrick Lamar & More
Next Up we have Brian Cross AKA B+. Brian is one of the most important photographers & Filmmakers in hip hop, period. He's worked with Biggie Smalls, J Dilla, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill and even once told me that MF DOOM shared his studio for a while.
Brian actually grew up in Limerick, before getting a degree in NCAD in Dublin and moving to California in 1990 to attend California Institute of the Arts. It was here he became immersed in hip hop culture as it was beginning to really blossom and his professor Mike Davis encouraged him to combine his interest in politics, hip hop and photography and eventually Brian published ‘It’s Not About A Salary - Rap and Resistance in LA’. It featured conversations and photos of Dr Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Cypress hill and more and was one of the first books documenting west coast hip hop
If you look close enough brian’s imprint is everywhere. Hip Hop Heads will no doubt be familiar with DJ Shadow’s Entroducing, the album is in the guinness world book of records for being the first record to be made completely out of samples. The iconic artwork shows producer Chief Xcel and rapper Lyrics Born digging for records and was of course shot by Brian.
In this episode we talk about his new film about The Supremes which is shot in Ireland, his legendary documentary Brasilintime and working with legends like Madlib.
