Reports of rap music’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The rap game is alive and well, especially in the indie world, which is thriving right now. As 2025 has moved forward, the list of real album of the year contenders keeps getting longer. The Backwoodz cinematic universe continues to release great music at an unreal pace. While billy woods’ Golliwog and the new Golliwog remix album are still in heavy rotation, Armand Hammer have returned with a new album called Mercy, produced entirely by The Alchemist. On this week’s episode, the three bad brothers you know so well share their first reactions to Mercy and to the August Fanon-produced Golliwog remix record.
It’s not all Backwoodz talk, though. The bros sit down with rapper and producer Chester Watson to discuss his influences, his ballet roots, and his new beat tape and crew project, Psychic Warfare Department. They wrap up the episode by talking about Outkast’s recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Nate’s vision quest into the Mojave Desert, where he caught a live set from the homies Open Mike Eagle and Video Dave.
