Podcast – Pluganomics

In Episode 11 I caught up with Ismaila Alfa. If you don’t recognize his face (his beard is coming in very nicely), you almost certainly recognize his voice. Ismaila has worn many hats as a communicator and artist, and currently hosts Up To Speed weekdays from 3-6pm on CBC Radio One 89.3 FM / 990 AM. […]

Episode 10 is here, and this time I connect with the guys from the Now You Know podcast. These dudes love their hip-hop, and I had a blast collabing with them. Anthony, Steve, and Clement meet every week and chop it up about anything and everything in the hip-hop world. We talked about Phife Dawg’s (RIP) […]

For episode 08 I join five of my classmates on a panel discussion at the IPP Expo. What’s that?

The IPP Expo is a project and […]

This is part 2 of the IPP Expo audio panel discussion. We had so much to say we needed more time. We also had many of our classmates stop by to talk about their IPPs. Some great stuff in here, check it out.

In episode 07 I meet up with David Koroma, Peg City Celebration organizer, and artists, Ingrid D. Johnson, and Abstract Artform. We hung out at The King’s Head and talked about why hip-hop and R&B/Soul culture is so important to them,  and what to expect at this weekend’s all-local talent show this Saturday at The Pyramid Cabaret. Also, […]

In episode 6 I link with DJs Co-op, Frasier, and Lonnie Ce – the guys behind Winnipeg’s premier monthly rap music event: Grippin Grain. We sat down before GG 68: Cool Pants and chopped it up about what makes GG so different yet so successful – AT THE SAME DAMN TIME. Listen here or go […]

For episode 05 I catch up with recording artist and Winnipeg-based MC, producer, and former punk band member, Rob Crooks. We met at The Sherbrook Inn and talked about (among other topics) Rob’s approach to music, the Wu-Tang Clan, philosophy, and peg city’s legendary record shop, the Wax Museum. Available for download on iTunes.

But mostly he works as a producer, writer, and MC with Winnipeg-based rap group, The Lytics with his brothers, Andrew and Anthony, his cousin, Mungala, and Lon. We sat down last Friday night before doing a set (with Friday BI resident, Mike B.) […]

In episode 3 I interview recording artist and veteran MC, Bazooka Joe, formerly known as John Smith. Smitty sits down with me and talks about how a youngn’ from Churchill, MB gets in the rap game, his upcoming projects, and what the term “real hip-hop” means to him.
