In this Episode 22 of Out Da Box Talks, Host Cril chats with Ohio Hip Hop duo "POW BUNDY", comprised of 2 Emcees (Cas Metah and Blast Mega). The interview mainly focuses on themes and topics addressed in their New Self Titled LP released in late March of this year. The duo starts off the interview by giving a brief history on how they initially met and came together for the "Pow Bundy" album. They also talk about the significance of the "Married With Children/ Al Bundy" theme which is showcased on the cover art and how the Bundy name correlates with the Blue Collar/ Working Class message of the album. The duo also break down the meanings behind certain songs and lines on the album as the interview continues. Cas Metah and Blast Mega talk about the track "Panic" and reflect on the "Panic" that's taking place in today's current Pandemic climate, while also looking at its pros and cons. Blast Mega talks about the inspiration for his raps on his solo feature "Trauma" (Which involves a tragic story in the scope of Police Brutality). He also takes the time to analyze what it would take for Police to improve and develop respectful and truly fair relationships with Black and Brown people of America. Cas Metah also speaks on his line in the thought provoking track "Murica" (pronounced meerica) where he talks about recognizing the real prejudice plaguing america since the settlement and shows solidarity in fighting for the rights of People Of Color. Both Cas and Mega also break down some of their lines from their track "Space Craft" which is about bringing awareness to and raising questions about what is known about outer space and life in the extraterrestrial world. There's so much to uncover in listening to this "Pow Bundy" LP but one thing is for sure, is that it speaks clearly on the injustices and and common struggles of the working class, blue collar majority. If you're into thought provoking Hip Hop, expressive of social political and economic challenges of the people then this "Pow Bundy" album is certainly worth a listen. It's definitely cohesive in the theme and represents Hip Hop in its most outspoken form. Hope this interview is inspiring!
