Reel Notes w/ CineMasai Blvck Svm | S4 Episode 44 (Season 4 Finale)
My guest for the season 4 finale is Chicago-via-Florida rapper Blvck Svm. We spoke about Pig, The Menu, Uncut Gems, the Will Ferrell comedy Kicking and Screaming, being inspired by MF DOOM, Lil Wayne, and Valee, the first night he ever performed, the intersection of rap and food, the creative process behind his latest album michelinman, his Bvck of House video shoots, and his upcoming restaurant tour. For the last time in 2024, come fuck with us.
michelinman is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Follow Blvck Svm on Instagram (@blvcksvm), Twitter (@fpgsvm), and TikTok (@blvcksvm), and keep an eye out for his restaurant tour, which starts in 2025.
