After releasing their classic self-titled debut album, Boston's own Feed The Family came through to discuss their follow-up "Zing Language" and much more! From serving zings and facing the harsh consequences of street life, Feed The Family have transitioned and solidified themselves as one of New England's top rap groups, receiving co-signs from the likes of Griselda's Westside Gunn. In this episode, we discussed everything from how their new album came together, the group's focus on the "underground" demographic, and even took a deeper look at their own traumas and the hypocrisies of capitalism in America. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!
