My guest this week is New York producer, engineer, and one-ninth of Mutant Academy, ewonee. We spoke about The Wayans Bros, King of The Hill, Ray, The Pianist, our respective G-Unit and Dipset phases, having hip-hop parents, the creative process behind beat tapes like his Aux Tapes series and ‘73, and some words about the upcoming Mutant Academy album Keep Holly Alive. Come fuck with us.

ewonee's latest solo project, Aux Tapes Vol. 6, is available now wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram (@ewonee_) and check out his personal website for tapes, vinyl, drumkits, and all other things ewonee. Keep Holly Alive will be available everywhere sometime in late September.
