G’Ra Asim and Rhiana Hernandez (Baby Got Back Talk)
Description
We are joined by G’Ra and Rihanna from the band Baby Got Back Talk. Forming in 2017, the band have been making catchy, pop punk songs and have attracted a large following. We discuss the band's formation and how they ended up on Wiretap Records.
G’Ra recently wrote a piece for the Boston Globe 'A rollicking rebuke to the idea that rock music isn’t black music'. This was a pushback against recent comments from Rolling Stone cofounder, Jann Wenner.
Baby Got Back Talk have put together a mixtape full of artists demonstrating that Wenner’s argument that woman and people of colour 'didn't articulate at that level' within rock music is nonsense.
The band will also be releasing a new song and video which will accompany the article and mixtape. Keep an eye out for this soon.
In the mean time, check out the most recent EP from the band 'Wince, Repeat', available everywhere.
Also mentioned at the beginning of this episode are Essex band Sharp Eyes. If you haven't already, check out their fantastic new single 'Past Your Best'.
