My guest this week is Queens rapper-producer-engineer Wavy Bagels. We spoke about Monkey Man, The Creator, Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit, Snow Day, Power Rangers, how his work as a behind-the-scenes sound man for movies informs his work as a rapper, producer, and engineer, how he moved from just producing and engineering to rapping, and the creative process behind a handful of projects, most notably his latest album A Carfull, produced entirely by Driveby. Come fuck with us.

A Carfull is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping it directly from Bagels' Bandcamp or from the Break All Records website. Follow Bagels on Instagram and Twitter: @wavy_bagels
