An Epic Show (with Canadian MC, Epic)

We have an Epic show for you this week, literally. Veteran Canadian emcee, Epic called in to the station for a live interview. We discuss his new album with Deadly Stare “A Library Called Calder” and spin a few tunes from it.

“With a perspective as unique as his voice, Epic guides listeners through a labyrinth of emotions and ideas, each verse twisting and turning around the dreamlike, otherworldly production by Montreal’s Deadly Stare (Triune Gods, Endemik Music). Ethereal beats grounded equally in Golden Age boom bap and sweeping prog rap abstraction serve as the perfect compliment to this mesmerizing and profound record that serves as a travelogue of both past and present. Together, Epic and Deadly Stare have built something magnificent in A library called Calder. Step inside and check it out.”
