In this episode, I take you through the build up of my battle vs Soul, from what I'm doing with 5 days to go, then the day OF the battle and then a few days after. It was an idea I had in order to draw attention to the battle which is being released tonight (12/12/20) at 7pm! It was interesting to think about the process, so I hope you guys enjoy it!
In this episode we speak to the Philippine's very own Loonie. With over 190 MILLION VIEWS, Loonie is one of the most watched battlers in the world. In this fascinating chat, we talk about the differences between rapping in Tagalog and English, the culture of rap battles in the Philippines and everything in between (did you clock that multi?). I know you guys will really enjoy this, so I can't wait for you all to listen to it! This is the end of the series, so I'll be taking a little break, but will be back recording again soon! Enjoy!
Lol. By that I mean it’s just me going through the lyrics to one of my old battles. Namely my Anton Murphy battle. This was really fun and I love looking through my old writing to see how much it’s changed. I think you’ll like this one.
Well, here he is. This is the 2nd ex UK Champion we've had on the show, this one being Tony D. This man has had a long and varied career in rap, ranging from performing with Poisonous Poets to rap battling all around the country. We talk about where rhyme sits in his list of priorities, how he feels about rap and writing now, compare to how he used to feel about it, about ambition, editing and how he writes those punchlines he has become so known for. I know you're all going to enjoy this one, it was an excellent chat. Have a listen for yourself and SHARE if you can!
In this episode I speak with Skirmish from the incredible UK rap group Rhyme Asylum. We talk about his favourite rhymes, lines and techniques. The importance of writing for yourself AND for an audience and the full story of Rhyme Asylum.
In this episode I am joined by battle rap veteran and Don't Flop co-founder Cruger, to talk about everything rhyme, with a particular focus on the work of Canadian legend, Pat Stay. We go through Cruger's top 5 lines from the Scotian giant and what gives him his distinct rhyming sound. We also get an amazing insight into Cruger's own methods of writing and how he works out what to say, what not to say and how to word it perfectly. I think you guys will really enjoy this one...
In today's episode I bring on London folk legend Jack Harris to speak all things rhyme from rap to poetry, folk and blues. This chat covers a huge breadth of music throughout the 20th century. Jack talks us through his own writing process and we look back over the ever-changing face of rap and popular music.
In this episode we are joined by battle rap extraordinaire, Soul. In this conversation we discuss writing processes and techniques, his own journey with rhyme and writing, his pet peeves when it comes to how others write and how he developed his penmanship. Not to mention his own surprisingly LOW opinion of himself as a writer, possibly being a key into what makes him such a GOOD writer. This is a fascinating conversation that I think you'll all enjoy.
In this episode, we are joined by Craft D AKA Danny Pandolfi. Poet, battler and rapper. We speak about the differences between poetry and rap and how both adapted to the world of evolving rhymes. We look back at our interactions concerning rhymes and how our 'rules' on multisyllabic rhymes differ and the looseness and subjectivity of it. Enjoy!
In this episode of Something About Rhyme, I am joined by long time best friend and collaborator Theo ‘Marlo’ Marlow. We look back on our journey as writers and performers, starting at 2009 all the way up to now, discussing rhymes, past battles, disagreements and finding your voice as a writer. We cover all bases and have a few realisations of our own along the way. Settle in for a good one... Enjoy!
