Fly In Formation 123 - Shylow
For episode 123 I got @Shylow_aka_Predakhan to take me through the eras of his long lasting journey through the Toronto Hip Hop scene. We talked history, making the best music yet with Dookie Bros, meeting and earning cosigns from legends, live streaming as a DJ, drumless rap catering to arrogant emcees and audiences who don't value anyone but the vocalist, a series of breakups with various crews, studying the greats, giving up on music to become a janitor, and a bunch of other important stuff.
