MoRuf | S4 Episode 10

My guest this week is New Jersey rapper, poet, producer, and singer MoRuf. We spoke about Top Boy, I May Destroy You, Higher Learning, the filmography of Spike Lee, going from battle rapping and poetry to pursuing music full-time, why he waited a decade to fully commit to making music his career, the power of community building, and the creative process behind his latest project Tiny Mic Raps Vol. 1. Come fuck with us. Tiny Mic Raps Vol. 1 is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Follow MoRuf on Instagram and Twitter (@Moruf88).
