It's the last episode of the Weird Rap Podcast, and the first episode of the Extraordinary Rap Podcast!  Mrs.Paintbrush, AKA Jackson of Grand Buffet, bares his beautiful soul, with guest interviewer Beverly Fresh. Pittsburgh native Mrs.Paintbrush boldly bridges the gap between bedroom hip hop and arena rock - like if David Lee Roth were an underground dadaist rapper, not really but maybe sort of...   This is a poor attempt at describing a truly one-of-a-kind musician. Keep an ear out for his new EP, Jaskin, out on his bday, Tuesday, Sep 19, at http://mrspaintbrush.bandcamp.com. http://extraordinaryrap.org [email protected] Bonus episodes, etc. - http://patreon.com/extraordinaryrap

In this episode of Weird Rap Podcast, we're joined by Mars Kumari and Volume 10.
