Andrew Emery 'Can We Pretend' by Bill Withers

Our podcast forces the guest to choose one song - We know, we’re awful. But when our guest is someone who writes about music and culture, where do they even begin?! Andrew knew exactly where to go, and it might not be where you expect…

Andrew Emery is an author and cultural commentator with a deep-rooted passion for hip-hop. He authored The Book of Hip-Hop Cover Art, which explores the artistry and cultural significance behind iconic album covers, and Wiggaz With Attitude: My Life as a Failed White Rapper, a candid, humorous memoir detailing his journey through hip-hop. Emery's unique experiences, including founding the cult rap magazine Fat Lace and his long-term role as an editor for Hip-Hop Connection, were retold in his most recent book Write Lines: Adventures In Rap Journalism.
