⚠️ RERELEASE FROM THE VAULTS!
This episode originally aired as DOD45 Episode 74, but thanks to Spotify giving our podcast the ol’ digital lobotomy in December 2024, we’re bringing this banger back for those who missed it the first time, or forgot how much it slaps.

On this episode of The DOD45 Show, Tai sits down with Mestizo: underground hip-hop lifer, Makina Muerte co-founder, A7PHA emcee (alongside Doseone), and the guy who once told a Texas cop he was in a Christian rap group just to avoid a ticket.

As Tai live-draws a snarling, multi-headed wolf, the convo veers into:

🔺 Many Headed and the A7PHA return
🔺 Haunted house stories and ghostly peeping
🔺 A bulldog named Chubs (RIP)
🔺 Touring with Mopes, working with Mediocre & Controller 7
🔺 “Old-man clothes” from the 1940s
🔺 The blues, The Coup, Jeremy Renner vs. Piven, and the power of art over algorithms

If you’re not already hip to Mestizo’s deep and dirty discography… welcome to the rabbit hole.

“One After 606” by The Gamma Rays
Lo-fi, creepy, and entirely unhinged in the best way. From the Halloween at High Noon: Corpus Vile comp. Possibly Salt Lake’s weirdest musical export.

🎬 Movie Share:
Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose
Simon Pegg & Minnie Driver star in this darkly charming (and totally real-life inspired) tale of a talking mongoose named “Gef” in 1930s England.
