The Plug (0:21).

Main Body of Discussion (1:44).

Weirdness and experimentation in music is a tricky thing. It’s very easy to go too far and make music that is so unlistenable to many listeners.

It is also easy to make music that feels pushes musical boundaries, but to no meaningful end. Where the end product doesn’t come together into a cohesive statement that says anything coherent.

Lucky for us listeners of Fatboi Sharif and noface’s latest album, Preaching in Havana, none of the above applies.

Havana is a true mindf*** of an album that is stunning, and I'm pleased to be joined by the creators of this record, Fatboi Sharif and noface, to explain how the h*** this twisted record was made.

The vision of Preaching in Havana (4:09).

The creative process of the Havana beats (10:58).

Why Sharif selected these beats to rap over (22:41).

Sharif’s increasingly abstract and impressionistic rapping style (28:07).

The importance of GENG’s post-production work on Havana (29:51).

Sharif and noface’s favourite songs (38:06).
