  • #170 - Cavalier INTERVIEW
    May 1 2024

    Video animation by: Big Flowers

    Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING

    The Plug (0:57).

    The Interview (2:30).

    Throughout my experience listening to music, one of the most important life lessons I’ve learnt is that of patience.

    I’ve had too many instances of an album initially not grabbing me, but then as I continued to revisit it and give it an open and curious mind… I fell in love with it months, and sometimes years after I initially heard it.

    Art has a way of connecting you to the present. No better example than the new album from today's guest, Cavalier, titled Different Type Time.

    In this episode, Cavalier and I have a sprawling conversation covering the creative thinking behind the rich audio visual experience of Different Type Time, what informed his unique career path as an artist, the meaning of participating in hip-hop culture, and much much more...
