Episode 30. Imagination’s the Only Element ft. Raph Boogie
It’s an honour to be joined by the busy and always industrious, Raph Boogie for the 30th instalment of Beers, Beats & The Biz.
We caught a couple of hours with the man in lead up to him flipping burgers for 24 hours at his Brunswick locale, Beatbox Kitchen - all in the name of charity.
Raph Boogie is an inspiration. As an MC in groups Azwan, Faces of Debt and Mnemonic Ascent, label head for Crookneck, published author, photographer and helming one of Australia’s earliest streetwear company’s, Blank.
The man is an entrepreneur and has carried hip hop in this country through his various enterprises, from his days working his fathers restaurant after school to running three food trucks and a restaurant of his own.
We talk everything from his early groups and getting around Melbourne, to starting Blank with Danny Young and knowing when a business has run its course, and on to photographing some of our favourite producers and having them published.
We talk the Big Bamboo and Melbourne city, we talk Crookneck Records and releasing Banned In Queensland, we talk Mnemonic Ascents’ live show and debut Honour to Be, we talk Studios and taking THOSE photos of Dilla at his MPC.
We talk everything with a guy who continues to do it all. Thanks to Raph for his time and being involved!
