For Episode 78 of The HipHopHumboldt Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Maui! I've been watching Maui move out here for a few years now. Maui talked about growing up on 80s and 90s hip hop before he moved from Fairfield. From there we got into his great grandpa Jimmy recording his own songs at a radio station, one take, no punch-ins, and how that lineage lines up with Maui. He talked real honest about his first show years ago, and his last show this past month at the PorchFest. We broke down "Put Me In Coach" and how that beat came together with producer Ralph B after they met at their kids' football game, then walked through the Shady Manila Records session with Sequoyah.
What made this one hit different is that we spent a big chunk of it on the business side, because Maui is one of the few artists I've had on who actually knows his paperwork — ASCAP and BMI, why DistroKid is not the same thing as a publisher, writer versus publisher splits, sample clearances, SoundExchange, and all the ground that artists around here are expected to just figure out on their own. Big thanks to Maui for coming on the radio show and the podcast!
