Show notes

This week we have two great interviews for you. First up we check in with our friend Jeff Weiss about his writing, his stewardship of the blog Passion of the Weiss and The Land Magazine, and his role as label head for the influential indie label POW Recordings. Jeff is funny, self-effacing, and deeply insightful about music and culture and a pleasure to talk to. Next up we have an interview with East Cleveland rapper Kipp Stone. His EP Faygo Baby is one building block of what we are predicting will be a productive career for the laid-back, observant MC. Beats this week were submitted by Stimulator Jones from his album Dust Bunnies and we appreciate the contribution. DBRP is a proud part of the Stony Island Audio podcast network.
