Real #tbt hours! There’s a new book out about the bloghouse era that me and a lot of my friends are in. The years leading up to this time were magical, especially in this city. And, I’m forever grateful to have played my role. And everyone in this pic means so f*cking much to me. Check it out!
LINK IN BIO…Whoa we go really deep on this one with our friend @asherroth ! His new album, The Greenhouse Effect Vol 3, is out now. Its a concept album, reminiscent of the great late 90's indie classics, where the production was completely crowdsourced via dischord. But more than just discussing the new album, we go deep on mushrooms, ghosts, dreams, sleep and all types of otherworldly shit. We talk about Asher's hip hop jouney beyond "I Love College" and his growth as an independant artist, the rap industry, and the value of creative freedom. We also listen to some of our favorite tracks from the past and discuss some new music that we're feeling... and much more! This is a packed episode that was a lot of fun to record.
LINKS IN BIO….Are we back or what?!! 3 weeks, 3 episodes! This week we have our first guest since being back from hiatus, Philly and Pittsburgh's own party Rocker, Radio vet, and tour DJ for Wiz Khalifa.....DJ BONICS! We start off talking shop about clubs, request stories, twitch life, vinyl life, and the working class DJ perspective we all have. Bonics tells us how he got started as a DJ, and how he linked up with Wiz Khalifa. He shares some stories, including getting stuck overseas when COVID first hit, as well as, some of the difficulties one may face being a stoner in certain countries. We talk about the impact Wiz had on lots of todays rappers both aesthetically and sonically. Then the convo gets very "hits blunt" as we go on about social media, the news, and its alarming impact on ourselves and society. We end with Bonics talking about his new opportunities in Vegas in the marijuana industry, and his current fundraiser to help fight homelessness. You can contribute here by hitting the link in his IG bio @djbonics . Good convo all around with a truly solid dude!
@thatssobrendan sent me A true throwback Thursday pic with the legendary 🙏🏼ORONDE🙏🏼 (rip)........ @kennymeez and @kingdom130 . This has to be almost 18 years old
Link in bio! We dropped a new episode this weekend while you were all washing your hands! Friend of the show, @littleamandablank returns to the @ard_podcast and we can finally redeem ourselves after we lost half the recording last time. Me, @dsjoedeux and @_jabair_ talk about her move back to Philly, her new album, and the process she went through to make it. She describes working and hanging with her bff Naeem FKA Spankrock. We get into new rap that Amanda is feeling and the differences between performing live music and rapping. The conversation gets deeper as we get into some of the unique struggles a woman faces in the industry and the countless creepy dickhead dudes floating around. Finally we wrap it up just talking about wild DMs, dating, and self imposed limits on partying.
