    Religion & Hip Hop with Patrick Shipley

    Here's a surprise episode that I recorded in 2019 with my bestie Patrick Shipley because it's day 33 of quarantine, 11:30pm, and this deserves to be heard. We cover Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean's religious references and undertones and how religion fits into the genre as a whole. Take a listen to kill an hour of your qua-routine... get it?

    Reed Juenger of Beat Connection

    Reed and I talk about what he's been up to since interviewing him in 2016. He talks about what music has shaped his life and his work with Beat Connection. We chat about the idea of genre blurring in the music industry, and slightly fangirl about Roddy Ricch. Reed lays down some serious knowledge on song structure and the importance of non-linear narratives. Follow @beat_connection on Instagram and Spotify.
