Blood Stained Pages is a new level for PRO ZAY.  During this interview with Dan-O he was every bit as raw as the verses he spits. The discussion covers the greatness of the producers and guests on the album as well as the vastness of Texas. Very few people get to believe in what their doing as much as PRO ZAY does.

Indie Rap Texas superstar Fat Tony came on to talk with K Diggy and Dan-O about the three albums that established Devin The Dude's voice and his ongoing legacy. This was boatloads of fun for all!

Big Flowers is a designer, collage artist, and fantastic rapper. His album Big Smile is one of the years brightest moments. This conversation builds off of FME #StateofTheGame weekly discussion about his album where artists who don't value consistency as much as freshness are discussed as Artists of The Unbound Function. That topic and many many more are feverishly explored. Dan-O hangs in for the ride!

Albums discussed: 

Moor Mother x Billy Woods=Brass

Navy Blue=Song of Sage: Post Panic!

Outlaw Mel=Dallas, Texxxas

The Roots have twenty years of output and that kind of longevity can be confusing for new listeners or just generally harder to put into perspective. FME gathered the best minds to talk about the defining eras and the redefined eras, from album to album. How the group shifted...what worked and what didn't. Zilla Rocca and Rob are in Philly. They speak on the group with expertise as well as the character of the city.  Things went very deep! 

Part 2! Looking at 2020's best 25 albums and dissecting them, K Diggy and Dan-O spend time talking about how to make a year end list before making the case for each album at each position. It's about design and then its about the bulletproof top ten!

K Diggy asks meaningful, probing questions about Dan-O's AOTY list from 50-26. Rap, Pop, Jazz, Salsapunk are all present and accounted for as 2020 has been a packed year for music releases.
