Fly In Formation 120 - Pretty.Ugly
On episode 120 I talked with Toronto based emcee/producer Pretty.Ugly about his last album "Paper Bag Prince", it's accidental origin, and it's slowly simmering follow up - whenever that may be. We spoke about the motivations and inspirations, hating making custom beats, the ideal recording process, the independent grind all artists face out here trying to get heard, and a bunch of other import stuff.
Hit follow on Youtube and Twitch. One day maybe I’ll hit 1000 followers and be able to monetize this show, but it’s still a long road to get there. Twitch subscriptions help keep the lights on, and you get a free one if you link your Amazon Prime to you your Twitch account, so use that to support your favourite streamer each month.
Listen to the audio only version of this episode exclusively at https://www.mixcloud.com/doobyis - where you will also find ongoing weekly mixes of 100% Canadian new release Hip Hop on my show "After the Smoke Is Clear" (#ATSIC) - each episode is followed by an interview with an artist, tap in and support the scene.
These interviews happen Tuesdays on Twitch - come by and catch them live, or watch them a couple days later on Youtube.
