In the current era of music and hip-hop, there’s gotta be more rappers than at any other point in human history. And so while that leads to a ton of amazing, creative rap music being made, as an artist, it’s increasingly hard to stand out. The market has never been more saturated. This is why artists like today’s guest, have impressed by immediately carving out their own lane as a rising star.
Hailing from Charlotte, NC, LORD JAH-MONTE OGBON, he sports an electric, outlandish rap style that has made him one of the most distinct voices in all of rap. His blend of wit, sharp honesty, and sense of humour have powered some great projects, such as Beautifully Black with Navy Blue, his strong collaborative albums with Sadhugold., and now his latest record, As of Now.
In this episode, we discuss the impact of his recent signing with Lex, his unorthodox rap style, and the creative process behind his excellent new record, As of Now.
