Liquid SunShine Podcast - Inebriated Interviews with Vancouver's hip hop underground
This time around the Sunshine boys chop it up with Van-City legend, the mutha effin man, Chadio. We get to hear how he once owned the morning freestyle sessions on 102.7 FM, how the incredible Imaginations Treetrunk collective came to be and whats coming in Chadio's ever growing discography of dope. Along the way the posse considers what would happen if "our" Chadio battled Brooklyn's Chadio (from the group, Cru,) and hear how Sauce may be getting stalked by his own old collection of Hustlers. We give shit away, butcher peoples names and get a bit tipsy. DJ C-Lo, as always, throws down the continuous ill mix, and brings you more of that new-new. Shout outs to Abort. It's Liquid Sunshine y'all.
Liquid SunShine Podcast - Inebriated Interviews with Vancouver's hip hop underground
We chop it up about the formation, and continuation, of one of Vancity's dopest crews, Imaginations Treetrunk, Azzy's five year experiment of writing rhymes in his head (no paper y'all!) and how he joined the ILL-Legitimate crew. Plus he busts some truly astounding verses over C-Lo's seemingly bottomless collection of beats. Archive gets cozy with a gangsta sized bottle of wine, and Sauce floats through the interview on a glorious cloud of cough medicine. C-Lo, of course, holds the crazy train together and keeps it spinning right 'round. This is Liquid Sunshine for your earhole.
The boys are back and joined this time by one of Vancouver’s most respected emcees, Azrael (fka Azraelian.) We chop it up about the formation, and continuation, of one of Vancity’s dopest crews, Imaginations Treetrunk, Azzy’s five year experiment of writing rhymes in his head (no paper y’all!) and how he joined the ILL-Legitimate crew.
