BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Sam Beaubien of Will Sessions interview session! Will Sessions burst onto the international hip-hop scene on 2011 with the release of Elzhi’s “Elmatic” - a jaw dropping tribute and remake to Nas’ “Illmatic”. Friend of Southern Vangard Radio, Peter Agoston, connected us with the founder and leader of the band as they prepare to embark on a summer tour, which includes a show in NY and their first show London as they headline the Hook & Sling festival. We get into a little history as Sam breaks down the band’s beginnings at Wayne State University, early hip-hop production for the Athletic Mic League’s Buff1 (aka Jamall Bufford of The Black Opera) and playing on Mayer Hawthorne’s debut album. We couldn’t help but get on our record nerd ish, so we also talked with Sam about their early 45 releases on FNR and conversations about hip-hop with the Detroit funk legend Dennis Coffey. Did we mention they also just released a new beer - “Deluxe Ale” - with Black Lotus Brewing in support of their latest album, “Deluxe”? There are lots more goodies folks, but we can’t give everything away here - so put this interview in your podcast queue, go cop “Deluxe” today and remember it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #DETROIT #WORLDWIDE
