>> WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH LOCAL RAPPER NUR-D ON THE SHOW LAST SPRING THAT WE KNEW WE HAD TO HAVE HIM BACK, AND A ALBUM RELEASE PARTY NEXT FRIDAY IS AN EXCELLENT EXCUSE.

THE ALBUM, CALLED "CHUNKADELIC," WILL BE HIS TENTH FULL-LENGTH PROJECT.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US!

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME!

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE BACK, IT'S DOPE.

>> EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HERE.

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING LONG FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW SO I'M A FAN.

>> THANK YOU!

>> AND EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU TODAY.

>> I'M HAPPY, I'M EXCITED, ESPECIALLY WITH CHUNKADELIC COMING OUT, SO MUCH FUN.

>> YEAH.

THIS IS YOUR TENTH ALBUM.

>> TENTH FULL-LENGTH PROJECT.

>> IN SEVEN YEARS.

>> YEP, WE STARTED IN 2018 AND HAVE JUST BEEN BOW, BOW, BOW EVER SINCE.

>> WHERE DOES THAT DRIVE COME FROM?

>> IT'S A MIX OF TWO THINGS.

NUMBER ONE I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON IN HERE.

IT'S MOSTLY HAIR AND WEIRD THOUGHTS.

[ LAUGHTER ] AND IT'S EASY TO GET THOSE OUT IN A MUSIC IS A GREAT WAY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

AND ALSO IT'S BEING ABLE TO HAVE MY OWN STUDIO AND WORK OUT OF FAIRPLAY ENTERTAINMENT IN ST. PAUL HAS BEEN A GREAT WAY FOR ME TO JUMP IN AND GET MY MUSIC OUT.

>> SO YOU'VE BEEN COLLABORATING WITH A BUNCH OF FOLKS I HEARD.

ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE IS HERE TODAY.

THAT'S AWESOME.

>> DJ HAYES RIGHT HERE, YEAH.

SO WE'VE BEEN ORKING WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

ME SPECIFICALLY AND DJ HAYES BUILDING THIS RECORD HAS BEEN WHAT WE CALL LIKE A FAMILY AFFAIR.

A LOT OF MUSICIANS FROM HERE, DJ HAYES PRODUCED HALF THE RECORD.

IT IS A LOT OF US BRINGING MINNESOTA, THE HEART, THE FUNK, THE SOUL OF THAT TO THIS RECORD.

>> YEAH, AND IT IS FUNKY.

>> IT IS A LITTLE FUNKY.

TRYING TO BE A LITTLE FUNKY.

>> I GOT TO LISTEN TO A LITTLE BIT AND IT'S FUN KIND OF MAKES YOUR BOTTOM MOVE A LITTLE BIT.

>> TRY TO GET THE BOTTOMS MOVING, THAT IS WHAT WE SAY.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> I READ THIS ALBUM IS REALLY AN EXPRESSION OF RADICAL JOY.

>> YES.

>> IN THE FACE OF EVERYTHING.

>> YEAH, I MEAN LIKE RIGHT NOW ESPECIALLY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THERE'S SO MUCH NEGATIVE.

AND THERE'S SO MUCH OF THIS SORT OF PRESSURE TO CONFORM, PRESSURE TO JUMP IN AND FIT INTO THE COG OF THE MACHINE AND SOMETIMES I THINK CREATIVITY, LIKE RADICAL JOY AND SELF-EXPRESSION IS THE BEST WAY OF LIKE REBELLING AGAINST THAT.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS ALBUM IS.

WE STARTED OFF BEING LIKE REAL KIND OF SAD LIKE OH, THE STATE OF THE WORLD AND THEN WE WERE LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE'RE GONNA PARTY AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOMETHING OF IT.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

NO FUN, WHY DO IT IF IT'S NOT FUN.

>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME, THAT'S THE GOAL, THAT'S THE VIBE.

>> EXCELLENT.

SO THE ALBUM RELEASE PARTY IS NEXT FRIDAY.

>> NEXT FRIDAY AT HE FILLMORE.
