On this week's episode, we're joined by FELIX! and Jiles, two members of the Van Buren Records collective and dope artists in their own right! Hailing from Brockton, MA, Rob and Yves are no strangers to the quality music FELIX!, Jiles, and VB have been putting out for the last few years and the growing success that's come along with it. With FELIX! in town for a few days from LA, he and Jiles stopped by to discuss the origins of Van Buren Records, their recent On The Radar freestyles, the story behind how FELIX! landed a feature on the latest Brent Faiyaz album, and more!
