My guest this week is Chicago rapper, producer, promoter, and all-around creative, Rich Jones. We spoke about food blogging, Saturday Night, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Ghost Dog: Way of The Samurai, watching movies not made for kids as a kid, establishing himself as a rapper, producer, and promoter, bringing Chicago with him wherever he goes, his future in music, and the creative process behind his latest project Sour Dub, produced entirely by Sinai, otherwise known as Sleep Sinatra. Come fuck with us.
