Hip-hop artist Eddie Canyon invites us into his distinctive southern sound and thought-provoking approach through his Creative Exchange Fund project. In this intimate conversation at The Medium in Springdale, Arkansas, Eddie shares how he weaves tales of battling addiction, thoughts on spirituality, and irreverent social commentary into his lyrics. Plus, he gives us insight into "Off Tha Top," his innovative pop-up collaborative experience, and his upcoming album recorded during this project. Discover how this Searcy native is pushing the boundaries of Arkansas hip-hop while maintaining that "the Matrix is real, but there's a way out."
