My guests this week are Connecticut-via-New York rapper-producer Polo Perks, Atlanta producer-rapper FearDorian, and Milwaukee rapper AyooLii. We spoke about their recent show at Substance skatepark in Brooklyn, movies like Elephant, WALL-E, New Jack City, Don’t Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood, several Disney Channel Original movies, the power of knowing the history of your influences, the pros and cons of a press run, how they first met and came together as a trio, blending Milwaukee lowend and drill, and the creative process—and plenty of stories—behind their latest project A Dog’s Chance. Come fuck with us.
