What is good, homies?! We're stoked to have the super talented MC and our good friend Emerson Corleone on BIRD PROTOCOL. We couldn’t be more excited to chat with him about the rising stars of the East Coast… the incredible group of rappers, producers, and artists known as “Griselda”. Comprised of artists like Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Daringer, Rome Streets, Mach-Hommy, Boldy James, Armani Ceasar, and more… Griselda is an artistic collective, a record label, and a growing hip-hop movement from Buffalo, NY. They are fashion, rap, and artistry wrapped up into one amazing group that has changed the face of modern rap over the past ten years. Their output is crazy. The quality is insane. Their bars are loaded. Get initiated.
Though “Griselda” is a new love for all of us, we don’t hold back in this episode and go deep into the history and influence of this outstanding collective. We gush about their consistency, their experimental side, the mixture of their respect for the artistry of rap while modernizing the older hip-hop tendencies of the east coast. We discuss each of the members, our favourite tracks and projects (which was VERY HARD to do because they all are amazing artists), how they are evolving the east coast sound, their impeccable instrumental choices, their features, their meteoric rise in hip-hop, being rapper’s rappers and their amazing debut as a collective, “WWCD”. Plus, we rant about why “DR. BIRDS” is truly an insane single, “criminal dissonance”, their ad-libs being the best in the industry, Mach-Hommy selling mixtapes for hundreds of dollars, their deep roots in the east coast, their amazing co-signers, wanting them to be on ETID’s holiday festival in Buffalo, naming songs after wrestlers, and more.
This one was super fun. Thank you to Emerson Corleone for being a part of this. We’ll be having guests more often going forward be we couldn’t have asked for a better person to be our first. Go stream his album “INNER MOONLIGHT” on all streaming services.
Next week? John Carpenter’s “The Thing”.
