Episode 210: Flare Tha Rebel

Welcome to Episode No. 210, and shouts out to my guest, Flare Tha Rebel.

Many thanks to my good friend, Keith, down at Brewery Emperial for letting me know about Flare Tha Rebel's existence, and -- before I get ahead of myself -- be absolutely sure that you check out Flare's new album, Dear City, which is available on streaming platforms.

Our conversation was super-solid, and we talked about a lot of really cool organizations that Flare supports, and you can check them out within the "Do Something" tab of his Web site, flaretharebel.com.

Follow him on Instagram at @flaretharebel. His stuff can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, Deezer, I Heart Radio, and YouTube.

We talked about the new album, playing live with bandmates, Woodland Ave., and a bunch more. Included there somewhere in the mix were a few of Flare's favorite albums, which were these:

Enter the Wu-tang (36 Chambers), (1993), Wu-tang Clan

A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders (1993)

God Loves Ugly (2002), Atmosphere

Santigold's Santogold (2008)

Phoenix (2009), Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

One thousand thank-yous to Flare Tha Rebel for the time, and to all of you that support the show.
