Yo approaching the end of the year and weve almost collected all the Hilt Infinity Gems! 

KraftyKid aka McGaburi is an emcee, producer, songwriter and also an illustrator.

He's one of the newest members of the Tokyo based hip-hop collective, the Hilt. We've almost had all members of the hilt on the pod and joining us as guest co-host is A Valley. KraftyKid and Valley are combining as Dream Gang and releasing an EP soon. We get into how KraftyKid joined the Hilt and how their music has developed. 


We also talk about: 
- Lil Wayne being dope at rapping but goofy with everything else
- the developing Tokyo rap community and resurgence of lyricism
- growing up in London with Guyanese and Nigerian parents
- Starting making music young
- Before Type beats, Mike and Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler 
- Why and how we listen to or assess the quality of music.
- their creative process & how they write raps
- living in Ikebukuro

MLS 136: " A Spice, Not a Crutch" Featuring KraftyKid with A Valley

Monsieur Jovoni is about bridging the gap, taking the best of the raw, hard-hitting underground style of America and allowing it to take the edge off with thoughtful,
mature infusion of jazz, EDM and soul.
Nothing is finite. High minded musings, bourgeois fashion, and sophisticated art can coexist with the biting, barebones sound and styling of underground rap in the evolution of Monsieur Jovoni.
