This episode I talk with Minneapolis-based rapper, composer, producer, director, and plenty other "-er" words, Joe Horton. We cover how music addresses the culture around it, the appropriate time and place for philosophy, the importance of fitting Wu-Tang into your definition of experimental, psychedelics, and just about a dozen other things. I'm still sifting through all the thoughts that Joe put in my head, but I can say that the playlist is one of my favorite so far. So, dive in and get your ears weird.
