My guest this week is New Jersey rapper Wiseboy Jeremy. We spoke about Third World Cop, The Substance, reading, bootleg DVDs, the magic of renting movies and games, growing up with rap, R&B, and reggae, getting over his elitist hip-hop phase, early Soundcloud songs and motivations, and the creative process behind several of his projects, most notably last month’s Pumpkin Seeds, produced entirely by Kirti Pandey. Come fuck with us.
Pumpkin Seeds is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping directly from Jeremy's Bandcamp page. Follow Jeremy on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok: @wiseboyjeremy
