This week we got the chance to sit down with our third guest from the "7 Cities" specifically Newport News in the Virginia Beach area, FULMETALPARKA$. His sound and style of music builds off of his Harlem, New York upbringing and current residence by the beach paired with a love for Anime while not taking from a specific mold or pattern. With collaborators like Ski Mask The Slump God, karrahbooo, and Ryan Celsius just to name a few we're excited to dig into what got him to such a unique space in the world of music and music production.

This week we sat down with Corey Fonville, a Virginia Beach born multi-instrumentalist whose strongest skills are within the world of Drums.

We got the chance to dive deep into his production, how he learned and honed his skills as a drummer, working with legendary artists like Nicholas Payton, the future of Jazz, and the next moves for Butcher Brown.

This week we got the chance to sit down with SIR E.U, a boundary pushing lyricist based in Washington D.C. who creates music spanning across a wide range of sounds, genres, and styles under the umbrella of rap music but the end product is so much more. SIR E.U comes from the developing 2000's era that we like to call the "2012 era" but the date range varies. After releasing "The Ghost of Velvet" (OUT NOW), rapping for 25 hrs straight, and being a member of the locally aclaimed and legendary rap-duo Koolkluxklan with the late Avionadramida, it was a pleasure and a breath of fresh air to sit down and talk more about musical influences, pop culture, basketball, time travel, Go-Go Music, the state of the DC, MD, VA music scene and more!
