This episode focuses on Headnodic via Oakland, California, by way of Boston as a founding member of the groups Mission: and Crown City Rockers. I try to get to the core that explains his beautiful beats and rhymes and the fact that all his collabs, whether its Infamous TAZ, Raashan Ahmad, Rico Pabón, El-P or Lateef the Truth Speaker, it always flawlessly fits together like bread & butter, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, bacon & eggs, pencil and paper, Primo and Gu’you get the idea. I catch up with him to discuss the pandemic, his recent move up north, and if Crown City is really retired. We also chat about the Def Jux days, making music with his brother, and the next entry in his days of the week series, entitled 'Thursday'. Enjoy!

Crown City Rockers on IndieFeed Hip Hop.
The Crown City Rockers incorporate a strong jazz influence in their music. The blend of this soothing music and MC Raashan Ahmad's unique rapping style make for an easy, laid back sound. I strongly recommend their 2nd LP "Earthtones" (2004).
