What IS spoken word?I interview Melbourne rapper/poets Tenda McFly and Ziimusic about their writing and creative processes. We discuss everything from vulnerability, to narcissism to belief in self. Then we briefly debate if being a good writer is a divine gift or something anyone can learn. I really enjoyed chatting to these guys and this episode includes some of their fabulous original rap songs – but of course!* Intro song – Lavish by Tenda McFly* Middle song (time stamp – 8:46) – A Place Called Self by Ziimusic* Outro song (time stamp – 42:34) – Love x Sobriety by Tenda McFlySide note: Tenda and Zii are voicing two characters in my radio play JoYOLO. Chapters 2 and 3 are airing next week – very excited! If you haven’t heard Chapter 1 yet, it’s Episode 40 on this podcast – http://taku.com.au/joyolo-chapter-1-different-dance/.
