#56 - Big Flowers INTERVIEW

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING (Go to 0:49 to skip the intro) The wonderfully multi-talented Big Flowers (Michael) joined the show to wax poetic on a number of topics concerning the hip-hop and art scene that he contributes great work towards. We start by discussing the conception of Big Smile, and where Big Flowers' mind has been at throughout the pandemic (1:39). Michael then details how Big Smile was a therapeutic recording process for him. (19:37) As a member of a burgeoning movement of thoughtful hip-hop, Michael gives his takes on what from the underground right now (35:14). Next, Big Flowers illustrates how he was able to orchestrate the significant levels of collaboration found on Big Smile (56:00). Michael discusses what drew him to create Memories Gro , his re-invisioning of Memories Bleed by EYESWIDESHUT & Pepper Adams (1:10:05). Since Big Flowers is an accomplished visual artist (who created the video animation for this very show!), we discuss why his visual design work is so special (1:19:53). Finally, we talk about what the future holds for Big Flowers in 2021 (1:30:48).
