This double-header episode features interviews with Royce da 5’9″ and Benjamin Booker!

To kick things off, we catch up with long-standing Detroit MC Royce da 5’9″ about his latest LP, Layers, that recently knocked Rihanna off the top of the Billboard charts. In this candid interview, Royce opens up about how his newfound sobriety has changed his outlook, how Eminem has supported him both professionally and personally, his views on the changing music industry, and much more.

Next up we unearth a lost Benjamin Booker interview from the archives! Recorded in 2015, we speak with the New Orleans-based blues rocker about his punk roots, growing up in Florida, The Fest in Gainesville, his activist past, and a lot more.
