  • Supreme Beings of Leisure: Never give up your dream
    2023/09/07
    Today's show is less of an interview and more of a wine-fueled roundtable where we talk about music, friendship, business, and how they all fit together. My co-host is Dennis White aka Latroit. He was my guest on the very first episode of Rebel Radio and has made a few appearances over the years. We're interviewing his friend and fellow Berklee alum Ramin Sakurai of Supreme Beings of Leisure. You may remember them as one of the top trip-hop acts of the late 90s/early 2000s. Their hit "Never The Same" was one of the core tracks that bridged hip hop, dance music, jazz, funk, dub, and more into cool vibes. They've been gone from the scene for a while, but came back this year with their first new release in 14 years. Let's get into it. Some links below to check out after you listen https://www.sbleisure.com Check their new album, 22 on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/62oupFZQ9VPJqNBBAEUPuC?si=UEtp1LVvS06o7J2iba0lug Or Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/22/1663402457 Check the latest from Latroit here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4keJDDQx0ac2jhmknbSLFK?si=ctvaWCHQTn2hyY5RjbqamA Or here: https://www.instagram.com/latroit/ And the new Latroit remix of SBL's "Desert": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHv-Eqos20I Learn more about your ad choices.

    2023/08/30
    If you spend time in Venice, or follow West Coast graffiti, I'm sure you're familiar with the Art of Chase.

Our sometimes co-host Eddie Donaldson from Guerilla One helps us unpack Chase's story, which is way more interesting than you might guess. We touch on the history of graffiti, skateboarding, and hip hop. And how to bring salesmanship into an artistic career. And what it means to be an immigrant in this culture. And prostitution and lawsuits. And Bansky. This episode has it all! Go get it, then check out some art below...

  • Evan "Kidd" Bogart: When things get tough, lean in
    2023/05/24
    Part 1 of 2 Evan "Kidd" Bogart seems like he would have had an easy ride to the top. He was born into music industry success — the son of Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart and Kiss manager Joyce Bogart Trabulus. And today has a Grammy (for Beyonce's "Halo") and a long list of hit songs (see below), and now a movie — Spinning Gold — which he made with his brothers, about his father. In between is where it gets interesting. He tried to break through as a rapper in the 90s. When that didn't work, he started in the music business and became known as the guy who discovered Eminem and didn't get credit for it (you'll hear a bit of that story in our episode). Evan started again, only to have it fall apart and have to move home at 26, and start again. You'll have to listen to our interview to find out how it all turned around for him, and the lessons he learned from the ups and downs. But it should be obvious that never giving up is core for Evan, and that his love and passion for music has driven him through life's challenges. Make sure you come back next week for part 2 where we talk about the incredible movie Spinning Gold, on which Evan is executive producer, music supervisor, and composer. Check it out at https://www.spinninggold.movie Meanwhile, here's just a partial list of the artists Evan has contributed to: Eminem Maroon 5 One Republic Rhianna Styles of Beyond Planet Asia Jason Derulo Sean Kingston Enrique Iglesias Jennifer Lopez Lizzo Learn more about your ad choices.
