BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the ILLPO interview session! This one is long overdue, Vangardians, as we’ve been playing this groups music since Episode 56 (that’s 2016), thanks to the homie and ILLPO collaborator, D.R.U.G.S. Beats, for putting us on. This week finds the Greensboro, NC duo dropping “Mercy Rules,” a new long player produced entirely by NC producer on the come-up B Squared. We get the inside scoop on how the project came to be, why the recent COVID-19 pandemic delayed the release of the project and the process behind picking the album’s singles. J. Bond and Mundae Bones also break down their history with D.R.U.G.S. Beats, the mission behind the recently formed collective W.A.T.S., which is comprised of ILLPO, OC from NC and B Squared, and how they managed to pull off an audio-hassle free IG Live battle with E The Mad Assassin - no Teddy Riley audio technicians over here, folks! There’s tons more where this came from good people - so head over to Bandcamp now and cop “Mercy Rules”, press play and ride out to that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK
