This week on the podcast, Joel Madden is joined by hardcore rappers Nascar Aloe and Myagi, the founder/curator behind the artist collective/record label DEATHPROOF INC.

After releasing his signature punk-inspired music on Soundcloud several years ago, Nascar Aloe made a name for himself in the underground rap scenes in Charlotte, North Carolina and LA, and developed a devout fanbase, drawn to his arresting sound, style, and energy. Most recently, the rapper dropped the single "BLXXDY NXSE" with Jasiah and Scarlxrd, but last year saw the release of his album AMERICAN WASTELAND on DEATHPROOF INC. — making his interview along with Myagi, a longtime collaborator, the perfect pairing. Together, they talk about their creative relationship, Nascar Aloe's early days in the industry, rapping about contemporary issues, and more.
