Shaun takes us deep into the record label's history. His journey started as an intern in Berkley. Eventually he relocated the label to Los Angeles. It was there he became the operational manager.  We also talk about being rap nerds and how his tastes changed over time. Oh and he got roofied on tour.

This week we talked to my old compadre VerBS. VerBS is an extremely creative bar spitter. I owe him a lot for helping me hone my style while trying to keep up on the BUZZ EP. We talk about his history with the Spliff and Bananas, nomadically peddling through the city, and chakra hugs with Santa Cruz hippies.

Kyle is a VFX artist in the movie industry by day. By night he frantically pumps out rap battle and music videos.  He's quietly played a huge role in the battle scene over the years.

We talk to Kyle about his obsessive work ethic, the rise and fall of the Grindtime rap battle league, and why Sage Francis hated his rap group “Omnivorous Genitals.”

Kitty (formerly known as Kitty Pryde) was in Los Angeles last week. We had the pleasure of sitting down to talk with her about growing up in a sleepy tourist town, how a Facebook group full of future stars changed her path, and how life is different in the year since “OK Cupid” blew up. Be sure to catch her on tour with Danny Brown this month in a city near you.

We spoke with pop and electronic singer-songwriter pennybirdrabbit.  She talks about the path from living in her car to going internet platinum. She also talks about making insects fight each other in the desert. All this somehow led to dog sitting for Drew Carey.
