Miss Special: Hawdwerk & Jansport J Interview (Video)
Last season on Special Sundays Radio Show I got to talk again to the hilarious Hawdwerk & Jansport J about their newest album "Black Balls". In the midst of the many jokes, we spoke about the idea behind the title, what happened behind the scenes while shooting their promo video and their "interesting friends" Elliot Alwood and Keith Grand. We also spoke about the narrator Tobias, and the process behind writing tracks the stand out tracks "My Type", "Proverbs", "Black Man" and "F*ck Jansport J" and more.

Pep Love - Rigmarole (Artwork)

Pep Love's (of Hieroglyphics) album, Rigmarole, will be released on March 6th via Hieroglyphics Imperium.
A little bit about the album:
The album title, Rigmarole, was similarly inspired by Pep's quest to evolve as a person. "The word 'rigmarole,'" he notes, "means the necessary steps or process that one must go through to achieve a certain end. With my Rigmarole, then, it speaks to the process that I went through and go through as an individual and an artist – and also to the greater process of cultural evolution that hip-hop and society is experiencing."
Tracks like the Unjust produced "Reflections" reflect this concept of therapy and self-awareness, as Pep describes the song as "one of those old clock watches that a hypnotist would use to take you to a state of trance." Then there's "Runaway Slave," on which Pep details the process of bettering himself as both an individual and artist through the use of clever and creative metaphors.
And with these songs, and the album as a whole, Pep wants listeners to view the work as a new representation who he is as both a man and artist, rather than compare and contrast it against his previous work. "Rigmarole isn't a progression from my last album; if anything, it's a deviation," explains Pep. "This album is less about what I'm saying and more about what I went through to get it done. It wasn't created with the intention of living up to anything else."
