Quinn Hall is a local photographer prominent in the Winnipeg hardcore/punk scene.
We are back after a much needed week long hiatus! Harvest Moon and Mango Fest kept me busy! Truth is, I actually forgot to have this uploaded ahead of time so deal with it. Nobody even cares I'm sure, let alone care enough to read this far into the description.
Today on the show we have Yung Romello bringing an end to my backlog of episodes recorded earlier this year. After this we get more current. It's how this show works, okay? It's worked for me so far so make it work for you and don't be a little bitch about it.
Yung Romello is a Jamaican Canadian rapper based out of Winnipeg, MB. Some of his biggest inspirations in music are B.I.G., Noveliss/CFS, Dave East, 50 Cent, Xavier Wulf and Wiz Khalifa.

Fresh off the red carpet, we are here once again giving you the ability to feast with your own eyes upon the PCP magic
Kovin Kestnar is our guest once again and today we have a very special co-host, Mr. Jakob Spence, the classic, much needed straight man here to balance it all out.
Who is Kovin Kestnar?
"Kovin Kestnar is a sublime lyricist, being able to layer both humor and harsh reality into his raps. He weaves dark worlds thru his words and is able to bring you into the headspace of any character he has in his arsenal. Kovin is a messiah, he is a poet." - Jakob Spence
"Absurdist, horror core, shocking, poetic, multi faceted artist ,madman, Métis artist." - Trrm
"Kovin Kestnar’s music is an exercise in the futility, but also beauty of art itself. Masterwork of the craft is no escape from the nihilistic hellscape of everyday life. However, through expertly crafted rhymes beats and visual art, Kovin shines a light into the corners of the listeners mind that they themselves rarely visit." - Postwar
"Kovin gets laid for $20 and has a hairy ass like bear grills. + Jakob smells good and is the lord almighty of Peguis" - Kovin Kestnar
