Podcasts about Swet Shop Boys

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Plug (0:46). The Interview (2:46). Few things have been more important to me in my life than hip-hop music. Growing up, I lacked identity and a sense of community. So as I continued to listen to more and more hip-hop music in my teens and early 20s, it quickly became a key vessel for me to learn about the world and connect with a culture, and ethos that I resonated with. And yet, as an Indian guy, it was rare that I ever saw someone who looked liked me that was contributing to this artform that I loved so much. It was hard to see how I fit in, if at all. This all changed once I heard the music of Heems, known for his work in Das Racist, Swet Shop Boys, and as a solo artist. Hailing from Queens, NY, Heems has successfully injected his Indian roots into a brand of witty, thoughtful rap... and invariably helped me see that there was space for people like me in hip-hop after all. So I'm pleased to welcome Heems, as well as Chicago-based producer Lapgan to the show, who produced the wonderful instrumental album History from last year, as well as the new collaborative album with Heems, LAFANDAR. In today's episode, we talk about incorporating Indian culture into hip-hop, Heems' new venture Veena, and the making of this incredibly creative new album, LAFANDAR. Heems' experience ingratiating himself in hip-hop culture (4:00). Importance of desi representation (7:37). Heems' legacy (13:52). The inspiration behind Heems' new venture, Veena (20:04). The features on LAFANDAR (28:58). Inspiration behind Lapgan's 2023 instrumental album, History (32:28). The untapped potential of Indian music in hip-hop sampling (36:30). The LAFANDAR listening experience (43:21). The musical direction behind LAFANDAR (52:09). Heems' witty, often hyper-referential, raps on LAFANDAR (56:46). The natural creative relationship Heems and Lapgan (59:21). The political focus in Heems' music (1:00:48). Upcoming projects / merch / tour dates (1:03:26).

There's more than just Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. In the final episode of Season Three we look at the short but complex, fun, witty, and memorable work of Das Racist. You might know them from the Pizza Hut and Taco Bell song but there is more to unpack. We talk about lyrics, mixtapes, what a mixtape actually is, getting drunk on couches, midwestern basements, the amazing post-Das Racist collaborative work with Riz Ahmed "The Swet Shop Boys", and generally talk about a bunch of random things in a ramshackle way. Which kind of works for Das Racist. Nick and Ewan are rejoined for this episode by the wonderful Brendan Quigley, and Emily Baldoni. And you can also discover if, like Ewan, you were pronouncing their name wrong.

In his latest film, Mogul Mowgli, actor and rapper Riz Ahmed stars as Zed, a rapper diagnosed with an autoimmune disease right before he's set to go on a major tour.The film's subject reflects a bit of a trend. Earlier this year, Ahmed was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in The Sound of Metal, another film about a musician dealing with a life-altering medical condition.But Mogul Mowgli is arguably darker – and weirder. The film uses rap, lyricism, and magical realism to tell the story of a man navigating identity, family, and illness. Ahmed co-wrote the film and drew on elements from his own life – including his music career, as rapper Riz MC and one half of the hip hop duo Swet Shop Boys.Want to support 1A?

Riz Ahmed has spent the last decade pursuing dual careers in acting and hip-hop. His work has been political, controversial, funny, subtle — the sort of stuff critics love — and it's found huge audiences, despite all that controversy. He started in British independent movies like suicide-bomber comedy Four Lions, acted in a Star Wars movie, and now has made history as the first Muslim actor to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. As if all that wasn't enough, he's also a pretty good MC! When we talked in 2016, he had just released an album as part of the hip-hop duo Swet Shop Boys.

Long before there was Pod Fuzz, there was Azeem lobbying Adam to look more deeply into the work of Riz Ahmed. A few years later, he’s one of the most exciting actors in commercial and independent cinema, as well as making his mark in music as Riz MC and as part of rap duo Swet Shop Boys. Fellow actor and longtime Riz fan Ram Gupta joins the co-hosts for a deep dive into Ahmed’s life and times, the films that made him and where he might go next.

UPDATE: I wanted to add a post script for this episode podcast. I got a lot of feedback about the inclusion of the first track, FDT. Most of it very positive, some not so much. To be expected really. I actually gave a significant amount of thought as to whether or not to include that song. There are clearly a significant number of reasons why one might not want to share a song like that. I carefully weighed these against my primary intention for the inclusion, to capture a cultural moment.   It is protest music and by definition will upset some people. This song in particular received a lot of press last year. It was recorded prior to the election. Time magazine and Rolling Stone both recommended it as one of the top Trump protest songs so I am not breaking any new ground. Hip hop also has a deep history as protest music, particularly music with an incredibly strident message (e.g. NWA - F*ck the Police). A lot of people are very upset and these are important things to recognize in out country and culture. The podcast is meant to reflect that.   In the podcast, I state the song does not really represent how I would approach the issue and I immediately offer up an alternative. I am fully aware that nuance will not be recognized by everyone but weighing all of those factors, I determined it was worth including.  -------------------------------------- I'm back! And I have so much great hip hop for you today. It took a minute to get this one out not just cause I moved which threw my life into a bit of a whirlwind but also cause it's really not all the most "fun" music. Don't get me wrong there are some slamming beats and some scorching flows. However there are also some heavier lyrics dealing with real life stuff. And then on top of that, real life is just kind of crazy right now! That said, I really love this mix. There is this ever present complaint that hip hop is dead. Once again, I offer up a podcast dedicated to showing that hip hop is alive and well.    As always, thank you so much for listening and don't forget to support the artists.   Aaron     Tracklist 1.FDT Part 2 ft.
