This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Today, I had the surprising, and very-appreciated, opportunity to interview Shad -- subject of the April 2023 All Things Considered, he is an MC in the truest possible sense of the term. With an essential discography in Hip Hop, I spoke with him today about his upcoming album, Start Anew, his return to the Tri-City area, teaching in the AI age, and Canada's hip hop listenership. Hope y'all enjoy! 

I also got music in here, don't worry. Finally, RIP D'Angelo -- dedication mix next week.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
