Vancouver rapper CityReal met local blues artist Wes Mackey while out with his girlfriend on NYE. Immediately CityReal knew Mackey and CityReal had to make a blues-hip hop fusion record together. The collabo record Good Morning Blues came out this year. It’s an interesting move for a new rapper, so I had to find out more.

CityReal wanted to meet up the night has was opening for Method Man from Wu-Tang. Somehow I tore CityReal away from backstage. Listen to how fast CityReal talks in this interview. You can tell he really wants to get back to the party backstage–and who can blame him? (I just wish he’d taken me back with him!)
