Show Notes
In this edition of Stereo Current, we examine the raw, confrontational artistry of Utica’s own B-Cide as he releases his defining statement, MonSter. This concept album provides an unflinching look at his battle with multiple sclerosis, turning medical imaging and physical fatigue into high-definition hip-hop poetry. We break down the 'Wheelchair King’s' strategy of rewarding physical collectors with exclusive tracks and his impressive 150-day TikTok live streak. From the gritty streets of New York, we head to Scotland to discuss Scottie Barnett’s 'Motion to Motion (Mari Jack Mix),' a track that breathes new life into 90s RnB with a bruised, lo-fi warmth.

Join us for a deep dive into the artists prioritizing creative sovereignty and visceral emotion over mainstream polish.
