Exploring South African Hip-Hop Culture and Personal Resilience with Durban Artist Lex LaFoy26 Sep 202300:33:19

EP314: From the welcoming arms of Durban, South Africa, we were thrilled to sit down with the first lady of Durban Hip-Hop, Lex LaFoy. We kicked off the session reflecting on Lex’s intriguing childhood, growing up with a pastor grandfather and a mother with a deep love for Hip-Hop. Her early exposure to this contrasting mix of influences laid the groundwork for her unique artistic persona. As she recounts dancing and rapping to Lauryn Hill and Jay-Z, you can't help but admire her journey from an eager spectator to a transformative creator in the world of hip-hop.

There's no denying the monumental role Hip-Hop has played in shaping cultural narratives globally. Lex gave us an insider's perspective, drawing from her experiences in Durban's local Hip-Hop scene. Monthly Hip-Hop sessions and her time with the rap crew, Red Hillers, were instrumental in honing her understanding of the cultural backbone of the genre. Each anecdote from this phase echoed Lex’s deep-rooted passion for music and the sense of belonging she found in the Hip-Hop community.

It wouldn't be a complete conversation without an exploration of Lex’s personal music trajectory. From her initial steps in 2012 to the release of Lexicon 2.0, Lex candidly discussed the peaks and valleys of her music career. The transition from her old persona, Lexicon, to the new, commercially appealing, Lex LaFoy is a testament to her resilience and dedication. She also expresses her gratitude for her family, her community in Durban, and the support she's received along her journey. You can't miss this insightful and inspiring conversation with Lex LaFoy which serves as a true testament to the power of music and resilience.

Join us in a candid chat with UK band, Paint Me in Colour. We're pulling back the curtain on their journey, starting with their impressive streaming stats, followed by their surprising insights on how online success doesn't necessarily equate to a live audience. We'll laugh, cringe, and learn as they share the best and worst feedback they've received, laying bare how criticism can be transformed into a catalyst for growth. We'll then traverse into the nitty-gritty aspects of making it in the music industry as an independent band.

Amseth: Acquiring Clean Production Skills, A Behind-the-Scenes Look22 Mar 202300:37:23

Goodbye 202228 Dec 202201:11:06

Episode 275: Nasiphi, Marcel and Meagan hang out with 3rd-time Sludge champion, Tamagotchi-JEEZUS, and future podcaster - Samantha Pienaar.

We spend a good hour just gushing over our favourite musical things, places, and people. The extended Sludge family wraps up 2022 with their thoughts on the South African music scene.

Thank you for spending another year with Sludge; here’s to the underground.
Also, if found, please return to the internet: The Mind Of The Least Important
