My guest this time is North Carolina MAVI. We spoke about the themes, pros, and cons of the 1992 horror classic Candyman, the importance of love, the creative process behind his great new album shadowbox, and a few tour stories from special guest Ovrkast. Come fuck with us.

shadowbox is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Follow MAVI on Instagram and Twitter (@mavi4mayor) and TikTok (@maviiformayor)
