Hester & I had Vale-Smith on as a guest to talk about Kanye West’s classic 2013 album, Yeezus. There’s also some discussion around the term “experimental” and whether or not it makes sense as a descriptor for a musical subgenre. We then briefly discuss The Game & YG in the wake of their recent Verzuz […]
Thank you to Kosey ! for joining Hester & I to talk about the classic debut full-length release from Noname, Telefone. We also talk about other stuff such as 80s rap music, IQ tests, ducks, Obsession, cults, and probably some other stuff that I can’t think of right now. Thank you as well to the […]

We also […]
For the very first guest on our podcast, we came out swingin’. Hate Island is a perfect album to me, and Teller Bank$ is at this point one of my favorite artists of all time, so I’m pretty ecstatic that I was able to speak to him for about three hours. I didn’t start recording […]

A lot of dope shit was discussed […]
In this latest episode of the Greetings Earthworms podcast, Hester Valentine and I talk about six different albums that I listened to since the last episode.
