Supernova Earth S01E06 - The Configa Interview
In this episode, we interview UK-based Producer and Academic Dr. Configa, who recently produced music with both Enemy Radio's Jahi and then later hip hop legends Arrested Development on two of the best conscious hiphop records of 2020, Forward Future and Don't Fight Your Demons, respectively.
Given that Configa lives and works in the UK, we also didn't waste an opportunity to discuss the hip hop scene in Great Britain, as well as talk UK Politics, spending no little time discussing the efforts of Maggie Thatcher and Boris Johnson--in French, no less--in the process.
Like our previous guest Dylan Netter, Configa also programmed our show.
