So Far Gone

So Far Gone

Author: Andy Mineo & Delgis Mustafa September 20, 2019 Duration: 59:02
Andy and the crew come together to discuss the art of honing your craft, Andy’s experience going viral, and whether or not technical ability matters in rap anymore. The conversation explores the rich heritage of technical skill in rap harkening to 90’s era hip-hop and the unhealthy skill-shaming that often colors the conversation. Podcast Guest: Marcus Hollinger VP of Marketing, Reach Records.

Andy Mineo and Delgis Mustafa host The Work in Progress Podcast, a space dedicated to the messy, rewarding journey of making art. This isn't just a companion to Andy's upcoming eighth studio album, the "lost files" LP; it's the raw, behind-the-scenes excavation of it. Each hour-long episode pulls back the curtain on a specific song, with Andy and a rotating lineup of guests diving deep into the creative decisions, personal inspirations, and thematic threads that weave the music together. You'll hear the stories that never made the liner notes and the conversations that happen long after the studio lights dim. By focusing on the process itself-the drafts, the doubts, the breakthroughs-this podcast offers a genuine look at how music comes to life. New audio and video installments arrive every three weeks, each one serving as a unique chapter in the larger story of an album in the making. For anyone curious about the craft, not just the final product, this series provides an authentic and ongoing dialogue about what it means to be an artist constantly evolving. Tune in for a candid exploration of music and artistry, where every episode feels like a shared session in the creative lab.
