"You can tell in the music when it’s not intentional." The sibling trio Obara (luchï, CSUFF2R, and Lanyi/Chika) joins the podcast to discuss their journey from Brentwood private schools to becoming a powerhouse creative family in the UK underground.
In this episode, we dive into the comparison to the Adenuga family (Skepta, Jme, and Julie), the reality of being a female artist facing backhanded cosigns, and why the scene is currently flooded with "lifestyle rappers" who care more about the greenroom than the music.
