interview: Juiceboxxx
Tune into WMSE as Andy talks to MKE-born, Los Angeles-based punk-rapper, Juiceboxxx on Zero Hour before he plays at X-Ray Arcade later that night.
Juiceboxxx often reckons with this disparity in his music, and his new song “In The Basement” displays the joys and uncertainties of a literally underground life.
“Straight up,” Juiceboxxx said in an email, “this song is about all of the intense baggage that comes along with a life moving around on the edges of various ‘underground music’ communities. It might seem absurd if you’ve never been deep in it, but it really is a lot to process. All of the years spent rolling around on the ground inside of some dive bar or warehouse, playing to couple kids, trying to make it happen in the room.”
