This episode is an audio collage celebrating Richmond, VA's hip-hop lineage and hip-hop as time travel. Lovenloops (aka Blair Smith) is a kindred spirit, archivist, and dope producer in her own right, her last release "Love + Flow" with rappers Giant and millz being described as an "exercise in creativity for the soul," but also as a love letter to years of RVA boombap and nostalgia for paths travelled and non-travelled. But most of all, I was honored to host Blair as someone who dives into sampling as both a conversational tool, and time capsule, in addition to her own mission statement to amplify Black femme energy. Archival recordings include the Huguenot Marching Band (2004), transmissions from WLEE (1979), fireworks coupled with John Coltrane in the distance (2022), and old Panoramic work (2019). The conversation has been presented nonlinearly, recorded in WRIR's studio and over Zoom between November 2023 - April 2024. Memory recall is usually nonlinear, anyway. Plus, there's LOTS of June Jordan and unreleased Lovenloops flips. Tap in.
