Beginning of Episode (0:49).
In Episode 107, we were joined by the esoteric, abstract, and incredibly smooth rapper from Seattle, AJ Suede. Suede has delivered two of my absolute favourite albums of this year, in his Televangel-produced collaborative album, Metatron’s Cube, and his collaborative album with Small Professor, Hundred Year Darkness.
AJ is a very thoughtful individual with a special kind of voice that both came through loud and clear in this conversation.
Suede gives us some insight into the hip-hop scene in Seattle (2:00).
Suede details the influences that have shaped his artistry (5:24).
Suede dives into his attraction to spirituality and philosophy (11:21).
Suede details how he approaches writing to a song (15:12).
Suede provides guidance on how artists can define a signature style for themselves (17:53).
Suede talks which comes more naturally, beat-making or rapping, and the differences between producing his own music and working with outside production (21:41).
Suede details how Metatron’s Cube is reminiscent of the classic loud rap sound, but with a boom-bap twist (28:56).
Suede expands on the idea of cube worship (38:22).
Suede explains how him and Small Professor approached the sound for Hundred Year Darkness (41:30).
Suede shouts out some other producers that he’d love to work with in the future, and upcoming projects to look out for (49:38).
