  • Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to another episode of The Open Mic Podcast! With your host Tom Hirst, brought to you by Richland Source and Newsroom After Hours!

    This week we have back on XHEIFXRATED to sit down with a more traditional styled episode.

    This episode took place on July 26, but as you'll hear when you listen to this, Xheif's laptop had just recently broke. So unfortunately he wasn't able to get me the tracks for this episode until he got a new one. But ladies and gentleman we are here with it for all of your istening pleasure!

    There is a ton in this episode! Xheif loves to get onto deeper topics and so we talked a lot about where he gets the inspiration for his music. As well as family life and the fabric of human existence in the universe. He gives an interesting response on the classic genre question.

    It's definately a good one, so make sure to show your cousins and office acquantinces!

    This week we have Nathan from the band Big Bend!

    This dude is an absolute legend. His improve approach to writing music and pulling cohesive musical themes from that starting point is incredible!

    He is putting out a new album called, last circle in a slowdown, and we discuss that at length. Its a beautiful work of music and It is very deserving of taking a listen!

    We get into a lot of good conversations about everything from the writing process to life in general. Writing music is fascinating in the way it allows for everyone to approach it in a personal fashion. To me what makes music truly great is when you're able to take your personal approach and relate it to as many people as possible. I think Nathan is on the path to doing just that with this album.

  • Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to another episode of The Open Mic Podcast! With your host Tom Hirst, brought to you by Richland Source and Newsroom After Hours!

    This episode we are trying a new segment! A Cypher Segment. We tested out our own version of one, with Kid Kulture while my co-host for this segment, DJ Dro Jack, spins some beats by Devy Kay! I'm pretty pumped with how it turned out, so It's going to be a recurring segment from now on!

    All three of these dudes are very talented and I think it shows through the effortless chemestry that occured in the studio. We talk about artistry, life, pizza and Kid Kulture's self produced album that he has in the works.

    It was a blast, so let me know what you think and if you' be interested on being on Volume two! Also any producers out there that would be interested in providing the beats for volume two to get some extra promotion for their beats.

    Thank you to Kid Kulture and Dj Dro Jack for being down to through an idea at the wall with me and see what sticks. As well to Devy Kay for cookin up some tasty beats for Kid Kulture to "sight unseen" rap to live.

    It's some freestyle, some pre-written, some local beats and some live Dj'ing. All mixed with some good conversation.
