LFOD Radio

Award-winning podcasters, ItsLitBoston, join Sam & A-Ball to share their story with ya'll. It's been quite a ride. They also asked some very thoughtful questions of us, and raised a lot of good points about their (and our!) role in the discourse.

Eyenine threw on the snow tires and braved some rugged weather to get down for this one. And we're glad he did. We got into it about writing styles, creative boxes, insomnia, being a pillar of the NH Hip-Hop community, the RZA's birthday parties and a whole lot more. Stay safe out there, ya'll and show love to your favorite artists this week, they're going through it.

From the Road!! Sam has been traveling around the country interviewing artists in different cities. While he was in Charlotte, he linked up with Cyanca & Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon - two very different individuals who highlight not only the diversity of talent in the city, but the different experiences for artists coming out of it.

We're always looking to learn more about the artists around us, so we can introduce them to you, each other, and connect the dots between us all. Dancing & music are such a natural combo, but there still seems to be separation between the dancers & the musicians up here. Ever since we met A-Ball, he's been telling us about the vibrant community that exists and Stiggity Stackz' role in it, so it was a pleasure to have him on to talk about the realities of life for him. We touched on a lot of things in this one. Recommended listening for anybody looking to find their way.

C Wells joined us to talk about his journey as an artist from Lynn, MA, expressing himself through his music, and how his beliefs have carried him forward. We also got into habits, small acts that can spark creativity, and a whole lot more. Very glad we got to link up. Keep an eye out for new music from Wells soon.

Nightworks is one of our favorite events in Boston. We rolled through the two year anniversary and sat down with a few of the artists that performed. Here's our conversations with Obuxum & Daedelus, as well as an update from Atlanta.

Durkin joins Sam to talk about his experiences over the last 15 years in Boston - from DJing Zuzu, to working with Black El, Michael Christmas, meeting Maka, releasing their projects through Fool's Gold, and more. He shared his penchant for positivity and plenty of advice for aspiring DJs as well. Turn it up.

Choppa Tha Beatboxa & D-Koy came through to shine some light on the art of beatboxing. Once an integral part of the culture, it's role has shifted over the years, but the craft is stronger than ever. This convo was inspired by some IG comments of Choppa's, so it was cool to be able to collab like this. The two boxers have very unique styles, but lots of common ground. Great talk... and you best believe we let them go off as well. Even had an impromptu jam sesh. Turn it up.

Najee Janey popped in to talk about the The Purple Earth Theory, Most High Kingdom, his musical journey, recording 100 songs a year, and... well, you've just gotta press play.
