For our first ever interview, we welcome Benji, local rapper/singer/musician/producer, to our studio - aka Pete's living room. 

Over a few Modelo's, we get deep with Benji. We discuss his background and how he got to where he is today (4:21), why adulting is so hard (28:02), and which local PGH artists you don't know about that you should check out (58:15). We also compare notes on who we would pick for our teams in a rappers-only basketball league (1:12:15). 

Finally, don't miss the debut of a brand new song from his upcoming album (46:15). 

Get more Benji on his Soundcloud and Twitter.
