This week, we sit down with none other than Luke Boyd, a.k.a. Classified – legendary Canadian rapper, record producer, and proud Nova Scotian – and his incredible wife Kim, who joins us for her very first podcast interview (and totally nails it). She declares, "I run the ship," and Luke replies, "I am the ship," and this pretty much sums up their dynamic and success!
We dive deep into:
- Luke’s lifelong relationship with Hip-Hop and staying grounded in Enfield, Nova Scotia - His rise to fame, working with icons like Snoop Dogg, Raekwon, DJ Premier, and more
- The stories behind his latest album "Luke’s View" - The power of family, fatherhood, and the rock-solid partnership he shares with Kim - The whirlwind of awards, accolades, and staying true to self, amidst it all
With over 285 million streams, multiple JUNO Awards, being a JUNO host, and a trophy shelf full of Much Music Video Awards and East Coast Music Awards, Classified has solidified his place as a Canadian hip-hop trailblazer. And behind the beats and bars is a tight-knit family, a deep respect for where he comes from, and a wife who keeps the whole thing moving.
We’re beyond grateful to have had both Luke and Kim join us for this heartfelt, hilarious, and honest conversation. You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, and you’ll walk away loving them even more than you thought possible.
