Описание: What makes a rap duo special is more than just the quality of beats and rhymes. It’s more than even the stylistic fit between the two elements. The secret sauce lies in a personal bond that extends beyond the music\n\nThat’s what today’s guests, New York-based duo Gabe ‘Nandez and Preservation, have in common.\n\nWith Gabe’s track record of sharp lyricism and a distinct voice, I knew that pairing him with a musical savant like Preservation would yield strong results (said producer has created masterpieces with yasiin bey, billy woods, Ka, Marci, and more). But even with that said, they completely blew me away, exceeding the lofty expectations I had for them on their new collaborative album, Sortilège.\n\nIn this episode, we dive into their personal relationship, their musical chemistry, the magic of the late great Ka, myth-making through rap, and the creative process behind their stellar new record.\n\nFinally, for folks in Toronto, I have a special treat for you... I will be hosting an evening of amazing hip-hop and experimental music featuring cross-country acts that include: Wave Generators, jesse the Tree, NAHreally, GhostboyRJ, and bridge of sand.\n\nJoin us on October 16th at BSMT 254 - tickets on sale now, buy here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rmpp-pre... \n\nIntro (0:00).\n\nThe Plug (1:11).\n\nThe Interview (3:05).\n\nThe genesis of the Gabe x Preservation collaboration (4:50).\n\nThe spiritual connection between Sortilège & Aethiopes (8:04).\n\nWhat made Ka special (12:23).\n\nThe recording process for Sortilège (17:50).\n\nThe influence of mythology on Gabe’s writing (22:22).\n\nThe idea of transformation explored on Sortilège (29:12).\n\nGabe’s ‘surfer dude’ vibe (33:24).\n\nThe stylistic fit between Gabe & Preservation (38:12).\n\nSpecific musical choices Preservation made to complement Gabe’s style (42:04).\n\nImportance of current events on war-focused lyrics on Sortilège (46:15).\n\nUpcoming projects / tour dates / merch (51:15).\n\nBuy Sortilège and merch here: https://backwoodzstudioz.com/collecti... \n\nFollow Gabe 'Nandez on Twitter here: https://x.com/GabeNandez \n\nFollow Preservation on Twitter here: https://x.com/mondieumusic \n\nFollow Gabe 'Nandez on Instagram here:   / champiyawn   \n\nFollow Preservation on Instagram here:   / mondieumusic   \n\nIntro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING\nVideo animation by: Big Flowers\n\n--\n\nFiending for some more quality rap content?
