Fly In Formation 128 - Asun Eastwood & Lord Juco
For episode 128 two of my favourites returned to the program, Asun Eastwood & Lord Juco are two Toronto emcees making densely layered lyrical boom bap that goes beyond the surface. We talked about their new collabo album “2 Birds”, the inspiration and creation, the reception, and the upcoming vinyl release and continued promotion. We also spoke about the Toronto scene, the Canadian identity, accessing American audiences, the importance of aesthetic in todays game, and a bunch of other important stuff.
