You can watch all of The Herbalist Hour interviews on HerbRally's YouTube channel. VIEW THE PLAYLIST This episode of The Herbalist Hour is a super special one! On our way back from a wedding, we were able to swing through Seattle and hang out with rapper Torin Frost. For those of you that don't know, Torin is the creator of The Herbalist Hour theme song. He did an incredible job with it, so I asked him some questions about his inspiration for the song. We also talk a lot about his debut mixtape that just dropped called "The Drip of the Iceberg". LISTEN ON SPOTIFY Later in the conversation Torin starts freestyle rapping about a few of our favorite plant allies!  He's an incredibly talented artist, a super funny guy, and a humble and kind soul doing great work in this world.  I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did, and please go give his mixtape a listen if you're a hip hop head like me.  Until the next episode, ~Mason PS - You can also watch this interview on our YouTube channel.
