My guest this week is Kansas-born rapper and podcast host Stik Figa. We spoke about Ozark, Euphoria, the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, American Beauty, the art of appreciating art, how Kansas became a mixtape hub for several different kinds of rap, whether Kendrick Lamar is an all-time great, and the creative process behind several of his projects, including the August Fanon-produced Heresy.
Heresy drops March 4 on Bandcamp. Consider pre-ordering it here.
The City Under The City and Central Standard Time are available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping directly from Stik's Mello Music Group Bandcamp page.
