It's the last episode of the Weird Rap Podcast, and the first episode of the Extraordinary Rap Podcast! Mrs.Paintbrush, AKA Jackson of Grand Buffet, bares his beautiful soul, with guest interviewer Beverly Fresh.
Pittsburgh native Mrs.Paintbrush boldly bridges the gap between bedroom hip hop and arena rock - like if David Lee Roth were an underground dadaist rapper, not really but maybe sort of... This is a poor attempt at describing a truly one-of-a-kind musician.
Keep an ear out for his new EP, Jaskin, out on his bday, Tuesday, Sep 19, at http://mrspaintbrush.bandcamp.com.

In this episode of Weird Rap Podcast, we're joined by Mars Kumari and Volume 10.
Mars Kumari (aka Bruiser Marcy), member of Deadverse and Bruiser Brigade, has been bridging the gap between ambient noise and rap, making a stir in the last couple years as her work has been embraced by the likes of JUNE!, Dälek, and Danny Brown. Meanwhile she's released several solo instrumental albums heralded by avant-garde electronic listeners and hip hoppers alike. We discuss her artistic approach and music as therapy, plus she shares some exclusive tracks.
Volume 10 (of Goodlife, Project Blowed, etc.) returns once again to share his thoughts on the new Backwoodz compilation, High Bias. He also talks about almost retiring, the tepid response to his most recent album 'Volume 10 As Dean Hawkins,' and more.
In the bonus episode, many recent music releases are discussed including some by Machine Girl, Andrew Mbaruk, DJ Smiley Bobby, Buck 65, DJ Sega, Kohai the Wonderguy, Rahim Salaam, Moor Mother, Quelle Chris, Grill Billyenz, william crooks, Pan Amsterdam, Yung Morpheus, Lil Kydd!?, Joan Of The Stockyards, 40 Ounces Of Palimpestial Equations (Rammellzee and Part 2), Yole Boys, and First Degree The D.E. We also report on a recent concert featuring M. Sayyid (of Antipop Consortium), Jel, and Mars Kumari. And finally, Mars Kumari leaks two exclusive tracks, available to download.

We attempt to humanize and provide some context for understanding his high-minded, poetically abstract, expansive takes on rap music. Tracking his multicultural roots in Los Angeles and trials as a teenage misfit, following his creative development and industry ups-and-downs, we finally find Rhys embracing his individualism and looking towards further experimentation on his own terms. http://langstonia.org

Phelimuncasi: Ama Gogela
nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/ama-gogela
themselves: Crowns Down & Company
doseone.bandcamp.com/album/crowns-down-companyFirst Degree The D.E., hailing from Sacramento, has one of the most strangely unique voices, sonically and lyrically, in rap, with beautiful self-composed production. Clearly a smart and prolific dude, he's been a math teacher, orchestrated a gang truce, written a book, directed films, runs a record label and news service, and has led various community organizing efforts, while continuing to progress and remain unpredictable as a musician for nearly 30 years now. His new album, The Backman, features the artist at the peak of his craft.
firstdegreethede.comWhile musicologists agree that much of the Los Angeles underground's quick-paced "chop" style can be traced back to Myka 9 of Freestyle Fellowship, Volume 10 can be credited with the chop's antithesis: the "stretch". The exaggerated swing collides with the speed-rap to form an infectious brew of opposites that spread like wildfire after 10's "Pistolgrip-Pump" hit the charts in '94.
volume10.bandcamp.comKool Keith might be considered the godfather of weird rap music, having introduced his wildly unorthodox take on hip hop in the late 80s with Ultramagnetic MC's, further developing his bizarre styles and subject matter in the 90s, and continuing to expand his range through today.
koolkeith.bandcamp.comThis month's bonus episode features additional time with First Degree, plus an amazing behind-the-scenes tale featuring several well-known rappers, as related by Volume 10. This and much more at patreon.com/weirdrap.
