My Darling Clementine by Andrew Fersch The WHOevers by Jacquinn Williams

Sean Rowe by Beth Ann Downey

Chicagohasno shortage of great hip-hop, and the WHOevers are looking to rise to the top of the hip-hop heap. These two FilipinoMCs dish about their heritage, using social media to promote their music, and pre-recording tracks with Cubase.

In the UK, if you ain’t American, you ain’t country. Or at least that’swhatMDC is trying to disprove. Join us as we chat about vintage recording techniques, the duo’s marriage and its impact on the band, and the coolness factor of Stetson hats.

The deep-voiced singer/songwriter has a brand new album out on ANTI-, and we recently had a chance to talk with him about his cinematic lyrics, integrating nature into his writing, and his approach to new recording processes.
