In this episode I am joined by Joseph Hurtado, better known as the producer, engineer, and beat maker Saint Thrillah. Thrillah has been making beats both as a solo artist and with his younger brother, the rapper 303 BAM, for over a decade. I’m going to be very upfront with you, Thrillah and I go way back. The two of us have been friends since first grade and have remained friends ever since. Thrillah even played in a very early version of Lamniformes. Throughout the years we’ve always shared a love for each other’s music, but I am particularly excited about his most recent project, #SaintSundays. For the last few months Thrillah has dropped a new beat every Sunday, paired with haunting imagery inspired by his Catholic upbringing and his love for extreme metal. I was overjoyed to talk to Thrillah about this project as well as his evolution as an artist and his beat making process. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
