Tai welcomes two sonic sorcerers—Doseone and Steel Tipped Dove—to unravel their genre-defying, hook-less wonder of an album: All Portrait, No Chorus.

Topics include:

• Dove’s accidental reveal of the creative "secret sauce"

• Dose’s theory on microdosing vs. beat possession

• Whether Dose would battle or collab with his 20-year-old self

• Dogs doing calculus, birds ignoring traffic laws

• Sage Francis lurking tweets and Dove’s 10-year plug-in dependency

• A Mr. Dibbs “Mayo or Miracle Whip” moment

• “Bullshit magic,” open-toe shoes, and wild west alter-egos

🎧 Music & Movie Recommendations:

• Tai’s Pick: "Bad Sign" – PremRock, Fresh Kils & Zilla Rocca

• Adrienne’s Pick: "Sauce" – Manwolves

• Movie Share: Freaky Tales (2024) — a Tarantino-meets-Too-$hort pulp-rap flick set in 1987 Oakland. Four stories, one wild vibe.
