My guest this week is Portland, Oregon rapper and co-host of the Good Talk podcast, Milc. We spoke about Highest 2 Lowest, One Battle After Another, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh, the filmography of Will Smith, embracing rap and basketball from a young age, working as a rapper and podcaster, and the creative processes behind three of his projects: The Fish That Saved Portland, produced by Televangel, Affordable Luxuries, produced by Chuck Strangers under the duo name Bad Tofu, and Run for the Arts, produced by Spinitch. Come fuck with us.
Run for the Arts is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping directly from Three Dollar Pistol's Bandcamp page. Follow Milc on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok (@milcmane).
My first book, Reel Notes: Culture Writing on the Margins of Music and Movies, is available now, via 4 PM Publishing. Order a digital copy on Amazon.
