My guest this week is Minnesota-based rapper-producer payforluv. We spoke about Final Fantasy, Persona, Suicide Squad, FernGully: The Last Rainforest, his favorite music videos growing up, growing up in Minnesota, how attending an HBCU in New Orleans inspired his music, the ethics of turning trauma into music, the importance of a good rap name, and the creative process behind his latest project if the lord wills it.
Please consider supporting recovery efforts in Louisiana following the devastation of Hurricane Ida. These organizations are a good place to start:
Imagine WaterWorks
House of Tulip Aid (specifically for transgender/non-binary folks)
New Orleans Mutual Aid Group
if the lord wills it is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider buying it on payforluv's Bandcamp page here
