BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jay Royale interview session! Last November, this East Baltimore native dropped one of 2018’s best LP’s in the form of “The Ivory Stoop” - and after running into him at the Main Source / J Scienide / Raw Wattage show in DC last week, we asked ourselves why in the world haven’t we had him on the show yet!? We locked in with Jay Royale this week to talk about his journey in 2018, which kicked off with the release of “Walk With A Gun,” a neck snapping, lyrical barrage that featured Conway The Machine & Baltimore’s own Ill Conscious. We get the lowdown on how that collab happened, Jay’s goal with the album and the backstory on the name of the LP. We also dig in on the scene in Baltimore, how Jay, Ill Conscious, Jamil Honesty, Ullnevano & others are carving their own lane in Baltimore hip-hop and their growing reach overseas. Jay also talks about how “Ooowop”, his latest single with Eto came together, what we can expect in 2019 and why him and Snowgoons were recently rolling around Baltimore talking hip-hop and fried chicken! You just don’t get these stories anywhere else folks, and there’s a lot more inside - so cop “The Ivory Stoop” now on Bandcamp, pre-order the vinyl from Official Crate Music, press play on this here interview and thank the good Lord above for this #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK
