My guests this week are rapper Alaska and producer-engineer steel tipped dove. We spoke about Longlegs, Kinds of Kindness, Halloween, several of our favorite horror movies, growing up as music encyclopedias, how he and dove met and gel’d as a duo, growing old in hip-hop, and the creative process behind their two projects—2023’s The Structural Dynamics of Flow and this year’s Reverberations of A Dead Man’s Ego. Come fuck with us.

Reverberations of A Dead Man’s Ego is available exclusively on Bandcamp...for now. Follow Alaska on Twitter (@Alaska_Atoms). Follow steel tipped dove on Instagram and Twitter: @steeltippeddove. Follow Fused Arrow Records on Instagram, Twitter, and Bandcamp.
