Mr. Dibbs on Strange Famous, Cincinnati DNA, and Why This One Hits Different
from The DOD45 Show · host artbytai
Mr. Dibbs returns to The DOD45 Show to kick off 2026 with a focused, funny, and strangely revealing conversation that covers Ohio origins, tour life, Strange Famous energy, and the kind of everyday questions that accidentally expose your entire personality. Dibbs is a Cincinnati lifer, DJ, producer, artist, and one of the key architects of Midwest underground hip hop. His new album Ohio Dirt is landing on Strange Famous Records, and we talk about what it means for that record to live in that world. We also circle back to multiple eras of Dibbs releases and let the memories show up if they want to. Did you know Dibbs has publicly written about Deadworld Reborn taking on deeper meaning after a medical incident where he briefly died for about 53 seconds, with the project becoming tied to tribute and preservation.
