Interview: Rising producer Shrimpnose talks about his creative process, inspiration, and more
Minneapolis native, Los Angeles based producer Riley Smithson aka Shrimpnose recently dropped a full length album, ‘As It Seems’ via Friends of Friends Music. With elements of post-dubstep, future bass, hyperpop, and folk rock blended with his low fidelity leanings, this is by far the most interesting project that landed on our desk this year. Accompanied by an impressive lineup of friends and collaborators: Anomalie, Bobby Raps, Ryan Hemsworth, Blockhead, Blu, Bad Snacks, SwuM, Somni, and Joe Nora, Shrimpnose displays unquestionable musicianship and vision. No doubt, the album is a true sonic experiment, but a successful one. Any risks taken pay off ten fold on this truly dynamic and original offering.
We got a chance to ask Shrimp some questions about the album and his ongoing US Tour. Check out the interview after the drop below.

The Best Rapper You’ve Never Seen: Spark Master Tape
Spark Master Tape is the only name you’ll know him by — the otherwise anonymous rapper, who is speculatively based in California, is most identifiable for his sound. His pitched-down voice, masked face and gloved hands, and consistent protection of his true likeness leaves little else to identify him by. All of these things, in conjunction with his intoxicating and addictive music, contribute to an authentic, growing mystique surrounding Spark and his collective of musicians and artists, the Paper Platoon. SMT went dark on social media in recent years, only briefly resurfacing here and there, further adding to the intrigue for fans awaiting his next album.
