BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents #VerbalKent #interview session! This Chicago MC has been putting it down for years, continues to evolve as an artist and is seemingly getting ready to release his best work to date, #Anesthesia, on #MelloMusicGroup this September. We have a great chat with Verbal, speaking on his early days coming up in the #Chitown underground, lessons learned in live hip-hop outfit #OrganicMindUnit, his move to a solo career in the late #90s and early aughts and working with seminal Chicago production team the #Molemen. Verbal also breaks down how he got his name, his approach to music over the past 15 years and his talent for securing top notch production talent and features. We cap off the interview with a play by play of Verbal's life altering, near-death experience in 2003, the corruption around bringing the case to justice and how he continues to deal with it today via his art. This real life folks - if you expect anything else - you're listening to the wrong podcast. Cop #Anesthesia on 9/11/2015 and support real music from real people! // southernvangard.com // #hiphop #rap #DJ #mixshow #interviews #podcast #ATL #CHICAGO #WORLDWIDE
