jun and I have been doing interviews for over 20 years now (and each one gets better!) jun an incredible and innovative MC. Proof? Just take a listen to his latest album, Long Days and Short Lives, available on all DSPs, where you’ll hear his innovative wordplay, cadences, and storytelling over gripping beats that serve as the perfect backdrop for his baritone delivery. In this interview, we discuss the hard truths that go with adulting and finding the time and energy to create hip-hop music. We also reminisce on the carefree days of cyphering ’til the sun comes up and dive into Long Days and Short Lives, one of jun’s most revealing and intimate albums to date. Definitely a must-listen!

Episode 86 - The junclassic Interview

Instrumental: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/frogs-instrumental

Been wanting to remix this track for a long time now, but never been able to get a clean sounding acapella. Luckily audio splitters have gotten way way better now, even the free ones: I've been using one called 'Splitter AI' which has been a real game changer. 

Always look forward to this track whenever I listen to Operation Doomsday, such a dope vibe and every emcee brings their own style. Has such a rugged underground energy, feels like a cypher track almost, I don't know why but the verse from Kamackeris always gets me gassed, especially those first 4 lines. I knew if I was ever going to remix this track it would need a certain type of beat, and when I flipped this one I had a feeling it was a good fit for that rugged underground cypher vibe. All the flows fit mad nice over the beat, defo happy with this one. 

For the visuals on my YouTube ( https://youtu.be/htpHPGov_sk ) I mostly used clips from the old Godzilla movies showing each character that the emcees are rapping as: King Caesar, Rodan, Megalon, Kamackeris, King Ghidorah and Kong. I've always found it interesting how deep they went into the lore and characters of those old movies, never actually seen a single Godzilla movie personally. I've always rated the idea of rapping under mad different aliases, obviously DOOM is here rapping as King Gheedorah, but you've also got Mr Fantastik here, I think he's rapping as Rodan. Also for anyone who hasn't heard of it, I defo recommend giving the full album by Monsta Island Czars a listen: 'Escape From Monsta Island' - some of the grimiest underground hip hop both the beats and the flows, crazy stuff. Will defo be looking to remix some tracks from that when I make another beat with this sort of vibe. 

Thanks for listening, any feedback let me know. Personally I can't decide whether the 3rd or 4th verse goes the hardest. Peace!!
