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 315 (April 25, 2025): All Things Considered 69 [Ghettosocks]

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight (pretty much) wraps up the Summer of Peanuts & Corn by making the case for mcenroe, the founder of P&C who has been the engine of one of Canada's best, most-noteworthy DIY labels. With a rich discography of his own, I argue that when one considers his raps alongside his production for himself, and other artists, as well as the vision he has had for Winnipeg hip hop -- and the representation of the working class -- he really deserves his flowers. Point blank, period.

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.
