BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the OC FROM NC interview session! When it comes to authentic hip-hop from the South - it’s hard to dispute what North Carolina has brought, and continues to bring, to the game - and they just might hold the crown, frankly. This Burlington-based MC is one of the reasons why, as he’s been steadily been building a rep and an outstanding catalog over the past decade, that reaches a new pinnacle next Monday, Sept 7th with the release of “CROWN ROYAL” - his latest solo endeavor that’s entirely produced our good friend D.R.U.G.S. BEATS. We get the scoop on how the album came to be, O’s beat selection process - you’d probably chop off a few fingers for the beats from D.R.U.G.S. that he passed on, there’s hundreds - and the attention to detail given to the project. We also hear about another LP he has in the tuck with fellow WATS crew member and homie B-SQUARED, why working in a call center is a NC hip-hop rite of passage and the one question he gets asked in every single interview he does (we were guilty of it, too). OC was also kind enough to insert a drinking game into his interview session - let’s see if you can pick out the word, we’ll give you a few rhyming hints…CHINA. DESIGNER. VAGI…ok, ok, that’s enough. Go ahead and press play, cop CROWN ROYAL on Labor Day and shout hip hip hooray ‘cause it’s 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 August 31, 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
