One of the most prolific MC's from the iconic hip-hop group Antipop Consortium, my conversation with Beans aka Mr. Ballbeam.

Best known for his work with the avant-garde  hip-hop group  Antipop Consortium, New York MC Beans rocks a bugged-out style based mostly on a high-speed delivery and extremely dense rhyme schemes, generally backed by intricate  production loaded with bizarre time signatures, spastic sound effects, and beats that are either extremely bare-bones or overwhelmingly complex. Unsurprisingly, he remains completely unknown by the masses, but is embraced by fans of fringe music and adventurous listeners worldwide. Despite no chance of commercial airplay, he has a huge discography and has performed at large festivals around the globe, proving that there is something inherently appealing about his unapologetically bewildering sound. 

In this episode we discuss his upbringing in White Plains , NY.
His early hip-hop influences and meeting the female MC 99.
His time honing his skills at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. 
The current state of hip-hop and his recent solo projects.
