Good Convo

This latest episode features Chicago's own NNAMDI: a musical polymath and DIY legend, known for relentless innovation that's always unpredictable. This hour's equally as unpredictable: we discuss his come-up, the present and future of Sooper, how to survive a crushing musical ecosystem, and how to smile and go outside enough.

NNAMDÏ 's new album, BRAT, is out on April 3. You can grab the Vinyl Me, Please edition of the album over here. The latest single from the album, "Flowers to My Demons," is everywhere now. Stream it here.

Good Convo is a music interview show that puts content in context, no cap necessary. This episode marks the second convo with Dua Saleh in a year filled with elevation and revelations. They go long on everything: gaining visibility in a toxic world, expanding their repertoire to curate the slaps, and declining passivity in the face of bullshit. Rest assured, mixed vegetables were present, and fits were gotten off.
