Author: Extraordinary Rap February 9, 2022 Duration: 1:37:40
In this episode, we speak with Sensational and cohorts, plus Kool Keith returns, & we cover some new releases. For our portrait of avant-garde MC/producer Sensational, a man of few words when it comes to answering questions about himself, we also speak with Spectre/Skiz Fernando (Wordsound CEO), Guy Albino (of Hawd Gankstuh Rappuhs MC's Wid Ghatz), Sensational documentarian Liz Moore, MC Kev Hutch, & producer Ex-Terrestrial. In our Patreon bonus episode we premiere a beautiful Sensational track, "All Or Nothing" recorded in the early 00s, plus we get an additional half-hour of Sensational talk with Spectre, Guy Albino & Kev Hutch. http://patreon.com/weirdrap.
