It’s been a long time….
Two and a half weeks to be exact, but we are back! Hope y’all had a safe and pleasant holiday break. Your favorite rap nerds have reconvened for Season 6 of the Dad Bod Rap Pod and we are starting on a good note with episode 251. Side A of this episode starts with the original kings of content David Ma, Demone Carter, and Nate Le Blanc talking about their New Year’s Eve debauchery/resolutions. Then, the bros welcome Brooklyn-bred rapper AKAI SOLO to the program. Spirit Roaming, AKAI’s latest release on the venerable Backwoodz Studioz label was described by Pitchfork as “impassioned soliloquies and elaborate sample arrangements, rendered with impressive precision.”
In this interview, AKAI breaks down how Spirit Roaming came into to being and the guidance he received from billy woods during the process. He also talks about his approach to rap, friendships, and life generally. Disclaimer: the zoom was glitching in spots during this interview, but it’s still really good.
On Side B, the Dad Bods discuss their favorite hangover cures which run the gamut from weed to egg Mcmufins. A good time was had by all. Hope you enjoy.
