🚨 Originally dropped January 25th, 2023. Brought back from the grave thanks to Spotify pulling a bonehead move and killing off our entire podcast feed. (Nice one, Spotify. Real helpful.) So now we’re re-uploading every single one of our past episodes—sometimes daily—between our new Series 8 drops. You're welcome.

This heater came straight outta Series 4—that glorious run when we finally locked in the pacing, sharpened the format, and debuted that fresh Mr. Dibbs-produced theme music. We were dialed in… though, yeah, still rough around the edges. But damn if we weren’t on the verge of something big.

And who better to help us stretch our wings than Lazerbeak—the multi-tasking, genre-bending producer from Doomtree, Shredders, Dope Walker, and a dozen other soundscapes. This episode has Tai & Adrienne chopping it up with Beak about:

🔥 Lava Bangers II and the ten-year legacy of his breakout beat tape
🎤 Producing Lizzo’s debut (Lizzo Bangers—yep, he was there at ground zero)
🏀 Crafting the official anthem for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2023 season
😇 Growing up religious and the oh-so-familiar childhood anxiety
😂 The first time he swore (his bike caught the heat)
🎶 His bizarrely dope playlist tastes—from Carly Rae Jepsen to El-P to Luther Vandross

💥 Bonus Round: Mr. Dibbs tosses in a wild card question about where “Lazerbeak” got his name. The answer? Let’s just say… it involves ancient robots.

✨ DID YOU KNOW?
Before music became the day job, Beak was grinding nonprofit office hours by day and cooking beats by night. Man was moonlighting with mission until the leap paid off.

If you’ve been ridin’ with DOD45, or you’re just now hopping on—this one’s a must-watch.
