Brendan Grey (Super Duty Tough Work): hip-hop's liberation through hedonism

Today, the Spotlight shines On multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator, and performer Brendan Grey of the Canadian hip-hop group Super Duty Tough Work.

In addition to his duties as MC, drummer, and band leader, Brendan has become a sought-after performance, session, and touring drummer.

We spoke back in the autumn of 2023 for a conversation that still sticks with me. I look forward to hearing what you think.
