Episode 28 welcomes special guest, Iceberg Theory, to the show. Ice is a prolific rapper and producer, who dropped 10+ densely lyrical albums in 2020.
We discuss the roots of how Ice developed a love for hip-hop and decided to put pen to paper and starting rapping (3:37).
Next, we uncover if Ice truly is this grounded philosophical thinker he portrays himself as is in his music, along with some insight into his previous desire to become a monk out of college and how his religious pursuits influenced his writing.
We deep-dive into Ice's perspectives on the benefits of religion and spirituality in today's fractured, oftentimes morally-devoid society (22:15).
We then talk about the meaning behind his artist name, "Iceberg Theory", which is based on the Ernest Hemingway writing style, and how that plays into his artistic process (37:25).
Finally, we talk about his latest opus, Dispatches form the Kali Yuga, and what separates this album from the rest of his already-impressive discography (42:44).
We then discuss his creative relationship with underground phenom, August Fanon, who has produced many albums with Ice over the past couple of years (48:19).
Following that, we dive into what Ice would hope listeners gather from his music when they listen to it (58:36).
Next, we discuss one of Ice's biggest influences, Canibus (1:01:48).
Lastly, we finish off the episode with a speed round of some quick questions to bring us home (1:07:23).
