Episode description

For this episode I spoke to rapper, producer and multi-instrumentalist Kota the Friend.

The proudly independent artist has been making waves over the past few years, with his blend of uplifting, relatable raps and jazz-influenced production. Having built a following through his self-directed Lyrics to Go YouTube series, he released his debut album Foto and toured extensively last year. Not letting the lockdown hold him back, we caught up for a conversation as he prepares to drop the follow up Everything this week.

Recorded via Facetime from his home in Brooklyn, we discuss his musical background playing in bands, his new album and creative freedom.
