BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the SABAC RED interview session, COVID-19 Edition 02! First and foremost, Meeks and Doe hope everyone is taking care of themselves physically, mentally and spiritually given the situation the entire world is in right now. Second, we’re gonna keep delivering that Smithsonian Grade twice a week as usual, but a little differently as Meeks has to dial in virtually for the time being. Given the special set of circumstances, it’s time for a special interview session. This week, with blessings from Sabac, we’ve decided to give y’all a glimpse into the prep and banter that goes on before the interview officially starts - trust us, you don’t want to skip ahead! So - Sabac Red, where do we start? As a solo artist and as a member of the legendary NON-PHIXION alongside ILL BILL, LORD GOAT (aka GORETEX) & DJ ECLIPSE, he’s been educating, and damn near foreshadowing, us on precisely what’s going on in the world right now for over 20 years. We immediately get into the state of the world today, what’s going down on the ground in the Bay Area and the perspective he has now given life is imitating his art. Don’t worry - we talk music too, folks - and more importantly, his new music with J57! ‘Bac breaks down how their first collaboration in 8 years came together, why the Non-Phixion tour last fall gave him the inspiration to make new music and how his son, DJ LUFU, helped him craft the chorus and ended up being on the track! We also get into a TON of history about his days running promo at WILD PITCH, how his relationship with MC SERCH developed, hearing NAS’ “Illmatic” and O.C.’s “Word...Life” come together in real time - the stories are straight ridiculous, folks. We might have to get a part 2 together, we could have gone on for hours. Alright, enough talking, more listening - cop the new single “Block Cheese & Bocce” from Sabac Red and J57 now, wash your hands and keep your distance while you tune in to what is ALWAYS that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK Recorded live March 22, 2020 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #soundcloud #youtube #spotifypodcast #googlepodcasts #stitcherradio #mixcloud #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard twitter/IG: @southernvangard @jondoeatl @cappuccinomeeks
