This week's guest is rapper Bobo Norco

 

This week's guest is rapper Bobo Norco. Bobo Norco took the rap industry by storm with a huge performance at South by Southwest, a hit single that charted nationwide on Top 40 radio, and ten major print publications that placed him on the cover of their magazines! Bobo Norco’s success began on YouTube where he quickly accumulated nearly two million views. His popularity spread internationally with college and FM radio where he was the winner of several competitions beating fellow artists David Guetta and Chris Brown.

The start of 2016 brought with it controversy,  Bobo Norco in January became a popular name in the media as he made international headlines when screenshots were leaked of an alleged conversation with Molly O'Malia, a 14 year old singer who was known for texting with the artist Tyga. The story was covered by BET, WorldStar Hip Hop, XXL Magazine, and tweeted by TMZ. In March Norco’s name was spread again in ThisIs50.com, Hip Hop Early, and Hip Hop DX when a photo of him was used as ammunition in a Twitter war between Katt Williams and another rapper. Norco ended speculation of having an issue with Katt in an exclusive interview with the InquisitR.

With all the media gossip aside Norco has released "Special" which was his first single from his upcoming album, possibly titled "Hail Caesar". "Special" has singing from another Bay Area artist, The Promise, and verses from Bobo Norco, Wiz Khalifa and Wale. This is the first of several single releases from Norco’s album which has additional features from 2 Chainz, Future, T.I., The Game, Gucci Mane, Rich Homie Quan, Tory Lanez, and Young Thug.

"Special" is available for download on Soundcloud and iTunes and "Hail Caesar" is scheduled to be released this year. Bobo Norco’s previous music is on every major music platform and you can visit his updated TIDAL page.

I have some interesting guests lined up including a controversial rapper, a Ted Talk host or two and a whole bunch more. I will also be beginning to record my audio documentary series which some episodes may find their way onto the podcast feed so look out for them also. 

Technical difficulties

Due to technical difficulties there won't be an episode up this week. I apologise to everyone who was expecting and excited for the Kelly Hu interview this week but due to lack of WiFi and the virtual studio still being a box filled room there was no chance of getting the episode ready in time. It will now be next weeks episode instead. I apologise once more.

Music this week is provided by hot LA band Dutch Party and I will also be chatting with lead singer and guitarist Ken Franklin on this week's show in the first 8 ? With... On air segment. Originally from San Francisco, LA resident Ken Franklin is not only the lead singer and guitarist of Dutch Party, but also the Producer behind the seamless blend of styles incorporated into the rising band’s sound.

Franklin has developed his own resonance in response to the analog-versus-digital generation, citing key influences from the psychic troubadours like David Bowie and Bob Dylan, to the soulful groove masters like Curtis Mayfield and Sam Cooke; while still embracing the ever- changing music scene of modern acts like The Arctic Monkeys, Beck and LCD Soundsystem.

After Dutch Party’s debut EP released in April, it was quickly followed by a bonus track via Kitsune's America 4 compilation. Now with a remarkable new line-up, and new music to be released later in 2016, Dutch Party is pleased to share their music, premiered respectively by Billboard and Pigeons and Planes. Originally from San Francisco, LA resident Ken Franklin is not only the lead singer and guitarist of Dutch Party, but also the Producer behind the seamless blend of styles incorporated into the rising band’s sound.
