Last fall a friend of mine recommended a tape, praising its luscious production. I was sold as soon as read the track-list guest-features, being that it was littered with lo-fi favorites. The Tape Hiss Hooligan, .L.H.W.’s debut LP, provides hip hop with a new, progressive sound. The 15 track record features production all by .L.W.H., with the best rappers, who right now only exist in the context of the Internet, contributing the vocals. The result is a highly pleasurable listening experience that induces heavy head-nodding.
I linked up with Mr. Hodge, recently, via Skype. Albeit, some technical difficulty, all on my part, I was able to improvise and conduct a rare interview about his thoughts on the MPC, the Internet, the pressure of success, and among other topics, Lil B.
HG: Thank you for your time, first of all. Second, tell us a little about yourself, how’d you get into making music?
