Description

Chris Gayomali is the editor of SSENSE and runs a health and wellness Substack called HEAVIES. Previously an editor at GQ, he's also written for Fast CompanyHighsnobiety, and more. Live from Bed-Stuy, Chris joins us to break down the recent GRAMMY nominations—his predictions about who deserves to win versus who will actually emerge the victor in some of the major categories. We also get into Sydney-based hardcore band SPEED, whom he recently profiled for SSENSE: how he first clocked them through their merch, what makes them stand out, and why having a real vision (and years of experience) still matters in a landscape that often rewards the opposite. We also talk about "Weird Drink," his ever-evolving concoction, how "link in bio" is a total mindf**k by design, and his Top 5 songs at them moment featuring Rosalía, End It, 2Hollis, Joyce Manor, and Satellite Lovers.
