"If you ever listen to NPR and dig hip-hop, get in here --->"


          

This is a new concept album I just released. Check it out:

What happens when the world of Hip-hop collides with National Public Radio? You get this fun romp through NPR's world as filtered through the lens of Hip-hop. NPR theme songs get chopped up and turned into beats, and lyrics play on the themes of the shows. Interludes where the rapper calls in to shows like A Way with Words and Wait, Wait..., as well as exclusive interviews with famous Radio personalities such as Diane Rehm and Terry Gross take you on a road trip unlike any other.

https://justduerecords.bandcamp.com/album/npr

I just booked an interview with Indianapolis NPR station WFYI! Hopefully more to come. Peace Okayfam.

Actually been working on it on and off for five years. This year I started really feeling the pressure to get it out before someone else did.

Thanks for checking!

Not weirder than a mixtape about nothing (Wale)

Not weird if you listen to NPR and Hip-hop (from my first day DL numbers, there are quite a lot of us.)

I would imagine flipping theme songs every single time I listened to NPR.

Thanks for maybe checking it out, tho. Much love.

Kai Rysdall called the album brilliant and played a big clip, and posted a link on their page marketplace.org

The Takeaway tweeted my song The Takeaway today, too. Last night, WFYI aired an hourlong interview discussing the album with me. I;ll put the link up when its available.

Thanks for checking, y'all!

He is *not* afraid to trash things he doesn't like, so that's some high praise there.

That's great news, man!
