Peter Bici (Episode 103, S9)

This week, we’re joined by two of the most compelling and inventive artists making music in modern hip-hop: Wino Willy and FOHDH Matthew. Fresh off releasing an incredible new album in association with Backwoodz Studioz and Grilchy Party, their collaborative debut 'Matthew Gets Sick Off Cheap Wine and Prefers Gruaud-Larose 1945' showcases what they respectively do best, concocting a gritty flyness whilst sounding raw and luxurious all at once. In this episode we discuss the process of working with each other for what became two albums, how using colours helped to anchor and deepen their goals, the impact that Philadelphia has had on shaping the way that they see the world and approach creating within it, and being photographed by Alexander Richter!
