Happy goddamn memorial day. Maybe this year they'll remember to stop sending motherfuckers to go die in the desert. This week, as promised back in episode #37 (seriously, go check that one or you're missing out), I've got an exclusive (exclusive!!!) interview with Thes One of People Under The Stairs. Basically the interview speaks for itself, but you can expect to hear Thes breaking it down on the new album, his approach to beatmaking on Stepfather, how ridiculous all them punk-ass kids running round calling themselves CEOs and A&Rs really are, and what he thinks about bootlegging.

Switched it up on you. If you listen to nothing else this week, listen to this show. This show isn't full of bangers and straight up heat, it's full of fucking science. My man Kareem Edouard is working on a documentary (available for free online at wghfilms.com) right now that talks about the massive amount of people in Africa dying because of the diamond industry's stranglehold on the economy and political situation in various African nations - Sierra Leone isn't the only one. We're talking, for example, tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children - our brothers and sisters - being dismembered or murdered within the space of a few days. Listen through about three minutes of this conversation - you'll see what I'm talking about. What does this have to do with you? Well, if you've watched a rap video in the past 7 years, you've probably seen someone that is (probably unbeknownst to them) helping to fuel the conflict diamond trade. If you've already seen the documentary, this should provide some more information and background on what the production and whatnot are all about.
