Interview with Giovanni Marks, aka ‘Subtitle,’ the Most Stylish & Poetic Rapper in LA

Giovanni Marks’s approach to rapping is as lyrically dense as he is tall. The 6’8” philosophical rapper, who stems from Compton, seems to have more in common with sound poets than his LA peers. I had the pleasure of recently joining Subtitle at ‘Monty,’ his favorite bar in downtown LA. Wearing a button down flannel, necktie and sporting hair taller than Kramer’s, he maintains an appearance that’s as striking and energetic as his music.

LISTEN TO: HALEEK MAUL (AFTER-MIDNIGHT HIP-HOP NOIR DOPENESS)

Haleek Maul is a 15-year-old (yep) rapper from Brooklyn who specializes in brooding, cinematic hip-hop, with command of a flow that you wouldn’t expect from a kid that young (but there’s been stuff going around in the water in NYC for the last 20 years, so kids these days are coming out crazy talented, or blind and without arms, or both. Some shit). He’s got a new single coming out on Mishka, so we caught up with him to discuss all the important shizzzzzz.

Superchief Interviews Zeb From POPO

Zeb is from Po Po, and makes music that is best initially experienced by watching the creepy goddamn video they just made, where he creepstalks a model through the back woods of a small town, wearing ladies stockings on his head. It looks like a fucking nightmare, and its the most romantic thing we’ve seen all day.

His album release party is with Win-Win this Thursday in the back room of Public Assembly, which is both a terrible name for a venue and also a good place to do drugs. We talked to him over G-chat, because transcribing shit is for morons.
