*Internet connection was choppy, so excuse the questionable audio quality. We did our best.*
Over the years, as someone who’s obsessed with music… I’ve observed a sort of left brain-right brain dynamic with many of the artists I’ve listened to closely.
In the context of music, I feel there is a side of music-making that is left brain centered on structure, that is all about a thought-out intentional approach.
But then there’s also another side of music making that is fundamentally different, seen a right brain way of creation that is more intuitive, centered on the emotion, the soul, and the passion that underpins the order of the left brain's work.
Just like with regular humans, it’s often those artists that can harness both of these sides of their minds in such a way that leads to some of the greatest music we’ve ever heard.
That brings us to today’s guest, SKECH185. Someone who brings one of the most passionate rap deliveries you will ever hear, along with a carefully thought out approach to building rhymes and structuring his flow.
SKECH’s unique powers made his Backwoodz debut with Jeff Markey, He Left Nothing for the Swim Back, an absolute home run and my current album of the year.
