Welcome back to our series digging into the greatest three-album runs in hip hop history, and today we bring you some modern classics from one of the best rap duos putting in work - Armand Hammer. We dig into the genius of billy woods and Elucid with rapper PremRock, travelling through 2017's Rome, 2018's Paraffin and 2020's Shrines, looking at why this run is so special, and how it taps into the entire history of rap in just three records. Featuring a ton of amazing guest contributions, from the likes of rapper Defcee, writer Ginger Slim, producer SonRaw, and the elite rap pod voices of Nate LeBlanc (Dad Bod Rap Pod), Dan O (Freemusic Empire), Rohan (The Rap Music Plug Podcast), and the Extraordinary Rap crew.

The fiery no hold-barred spirit that today's guests, Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals, showcase in each and every track of theirs, is something that you can expect to hear in this conversation. As fierce truth-tellers and creators of bold clashes of sound, we had a sprawling conversation that covered everything from bad faith criticism, their ambitious sound and unique group dynamic, the difficult process involved in making their new album, A City Drowned in God's Black Tears, and much more. ... And as a reminder, if you're in Toronto on April 17th, PremRock + friends will be performing at BSMT 254 with some DJ support from yours truly!!

Listening to the latest album of today's guest, PremRock, is more than just a great experience. It feels like spending time with an old friend. That saying, coined by the great Dan-O of Freemusicempire, couldn't be more spot on a descriptor for PremRock's latest opus, Did You Enjoy Your Time Here…? PremRock's lyrics are immaculately written, treating the listener with melancholic existential reflections that have a way of grounding you in a lucid state of calm, On top of that, the guest list is an all-star cast of collaborators we've grown to know and love in the Backwoodz universe, who provide the canvasses and guest verses to elevate this album to indelible heights. Did You Enjoy Your Time Here…? is one of the best albums of the decade. So it's of course an honour to have the man of the hour, PremRock, here to speak on his mindset creating this latest album, how vulnerability is his superpower, and much more! Andddd… if you're in Toronto on April 17th, join us at BSMT254 to see him and friends perform this album live!

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Hook (0:21). Main Body of Discussion (2:00). Few albums build an entirely fresh and distinct musical universe quite like ShrapKnel's Metal Lung. Within seconds, the duo of PremRock and Curly Castro bring you on a 40+ minute journey that features a combination of A1 lyricism, and production that is wildly psychedelic and atmospheric. Coming off the heels of two great solo albums respectively, and the debut ShrapKnel record that was great in its own right, my expectations couldn't have been higher for Metal Lung... and I am very happy to say that these expectations were blown out of the water. The dynamic duo of Curly Castro and PremRock joined the show to deep-dive into the creation of Metal Lung, in the 3rd installment of the Album Alchemy series.

Hey, Babes! What do we do when we cover South Korean horror? Call our good friend PremRock duh!! Topher and Prem sat down during a heat wave to chop it up about Na Hong-jin's near-perfect 2016 film 'The Wailing'. They're going in on oppressive regimes, how to use scores, and beat sampling. Might sound odd for a horror podcast, but that's how we do!! Check out PremRock's solo album, available June 25 (links below).

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the ZILLA ROCCA and CHONG WIZARD interview session! This Phildelphia MC and Vancouver DJ/producer have been on their own individual tears the past few years. Zilla with his work with RAY WEST and ALASKA, as well as putting in work with THE WRECKING CREW, which counts CURLY CASTRO, PREMROCK and SMALL PROFESSOR as members. Chong just wrapped up his 6-part INFINITY STONE series and is at the helm of his own record label, with recent physical releases from CHRIS CRACK, LORD JUCO, NAPOLEON DA LEGEND, RANSOM and NICHOLAS CRAVEN. This fall, Zilla and Chong come together for MIDNIGHT SONS, a conceptual album loosely inspired by the comic supergroup of the same name. We talk about the genesis of the project, how features from NATURE, BILLY WOODS, LORD JUCO, CURLY CASTRO, ALASKA, DENMARK VESSEY and PREMROCK came to be and why J-ZONE unknowingly ended up shaping the entire sound of the album. The duo also break down the significance of having MALIK B (RIP) on the record, who unfortunately passed this summer very soon after recording his verse, and how RALPHIIE REESE came through in the clutch to get the verse recorded. You know what it is, Vangardians - so cap off a hectic week with your guys Doe & Meeks, light it up, pour it out ‘cause it’s that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK Recorded live November 1, 2020 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #soundcloud #youtube #spotifypodcast #googlepodcasts #stitcherradio #mixcloud #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard twitter/IG: @southernvangard @jondoeatl @cappuccinomeeks
Hey, thank you for listening. This is another episode I recorded quite a while ago. Like - a long time. After COVID but still before protests started. I'm excited to put it out there now - the guest is ShrapKnel (https://shrapknel.bandcamp.com/) ShrapKnel is a rap duo by Premrock ( https://planetpremrock.bandcamp.com/ ) and Curly Castro ( https://curlycastro.bandcamp.com/ ) Two artists and friends I've known for several years now – they've both had incredible solo careers, been involved in many collaborative projects before- and formed ShrapKnel in 2019 – dropped an EP and then a full-length album on the Backwoodz Studios label, both amazing and was received incredibly well. Then in May of this year, they put out flechette – an album with remixes and a little new material. Please enjoy and visit the links for Prem and Castro, support these incredible people and artists.

It’s finally here - the end of Bong Joon-Ho Month. We’re sad to see it go, but it’s been some of our favorite work so far.

We’re diving into dark comedy, class issues, paralleled flood scenes and why Bong Joon-Ho is a god-tier filmmaker. There are for sure SPOILERS, but only about Parasite and Snowpiercer this time, so we went a little easy on y’all.
