This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight is the 64th All Things Considered, in which I make the case for Birdapres, the Canadian MC who is often defined by terms that he both accepts and transcends. With a rich discography full of rhymes both clever and witty, production that is diverse and deep, and a general penchant for both challenging and entertaining the listener, it's time to get familiar -- all things considered -- if you ain't!

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 293 (November 22, 2024): All Things Considered 64 [Birdapres]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight is the 72nd All Things Considered, which makes the case for Bazooka Joe 204 -- formerly known as John Smith -- who I argue is part of the "ID" of Peanuts & Corn. With a more aggressive flow and harsher observational approach, his discography (alongside his work with Park-Like Setting) is a testament to the importance of working-class presence in Hip Hop, while also still presenting a unique character who forms an important part of Peanuts & Corn, as well as Canada's scene in general. 

I also did the 25th mini All Things Considered on Different Shades of Black, who dropped their only album on P&C two days before I turned 1 year old. I don't think they were going to take over the world, but their album is still a hidden gem for real heads, and P&C deserves credit for not letting it get buried in the archives.

All tracks are by John Smith, Bazooka Joe 204, or Park-Like Setting, unless listed otherwise.

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.
