In Episode 93, I was joined by a very special guest with me who has had a particularly affect on me as a brown hip-hop head growing up: Big Baby Gandhi.
Hailing from Flushing, Queens, formerly of Heems of Das Racist’s Greedhead label, you may have heard him on his solo work through well-received projects such as, Big F****** Baby, No1 2 Look Up 2, or We Live in a Society... or on a track with the Das Racist crew. He is thoughtful, charismatic, and funny as hell, and is also currently a practicing medical writer.
