(Deafheaven’s guitarist Kerry McCoy was quick to tell me that I was “hella late” on this and then made fun of me for being such a behind-the-times-dork. Then I found out Lil Ugly Mane produced a bunch of stuff for my soon-to-be tourmate Antwon (amongst others like Key Nyata, Denzel Curry and Supa Sortahuman) and that he’s played Austin’s biggest punk-clusterfuck festival Chaos in Tejas - in addition to his rap shit, Lil Ugly Mane made noise music under the alias Across - and I was even more enthralled.

I’m chalking this up to kismet shit.Ī few weeks ago, I tweeted that I was obsessing over Lil Ugly Mane after my cousin introduced me to his music while we were driving to a family dinner. I don’t know how true this is, but tonight, it’s going to be rap and it’s going to be Lil Ugly Mane. One of my editors who I very much respect and love told me I had two choices: metal or rap. I only say this because my name is also Myszka and I’ve recently decided that I have to write outside my genre. When I Googled “Lil Ugly Mane Interview” the first thing that came up was a q&a that the Virginia producer and rapper did in a New York publication called in the spring of last year.
