Nigel Webber is a local writer and the author of the upcoming book Gritty City, an oral history of Winnipeg hip-hop.
We talked about the ambitious project, the wide range of artists he has interviewed already, some of the long-lost Winnipeg rap records he has yet to hear, and more!
Get a taste of Nigel’s project in this month's Stylus Magazine, which includes his hard-to-argue-with list of Winnipeg’s top 100 rap songs.
This episode brought to you by Rob Crooks, whose outstanding new album, Introducing the Ghost, is out now from Saskatoon Folk Rap Records!
