Show Notes

Veteran Winnipeg MCs Gruf (Fermented Reptile, Frek Sho) and Yy (Park-Like Setting, Your Brother In My Backpack), alongside producer Rob Crooks are on the show about their outstanding new ‘Mental Health Day’ record!

We talked about Gruf and Yy’s long-awaited team-up, the album’s lyrically dense sound, how boundaries were pushed on both vocals and beats, and much more!

Get Mental Health Day now from Saskatoon Folk Rap Records (after you check out the podcast, of course).

This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company and by the new Good + Plenty Producer's Club podcast!
