My guest this week is Virginia rapper Henny L.O. We spoke about Baki Hanma, YouTube rabbit holes, how discovering Spike Lee’s Malcolm X and Wu-Tang Clan changed his life, his history as a battle rapper, breaking the curse of bad battle rapper albums, meeting Fly Anakin and forming Mutant Academy, the response to MA’s debut album Keep Holly Alive, his chemistry with producer ewonee, and the creative process behind their collaborative EP Fougére and their upcoming full-length album The Coldest Season Ever. Come fuck with us.
Fougére is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. The Coldest Season Ever is out on Friday, March 21. Follow Lowey on Instagram (@hennyldot) and Twitter (@HennyLo_). Follow ewonee on Instagram and Twitter (@ewonee_) and listen to his episode of Reel Notes (Season 4, Episode 29).
My first book, Reel Notes: Culture Writing on the Margins of Music and Movies, is available now, via 4 PM Publishing. Order a digital copy on Amazon.
