El Tucsonan

El Tucsonan kicks off with REY — Tucson rapper, organizer, visual artist, and co-founder of the 1202 collective. We talk about coming up in the local music scene, what it actually takes to navigate venues and bad business in a city like Tucson, and why he's been going through his hard drives trying to die empty.We also get into the AI copyright problem eating the music industry, why "Everything Is a Remix" should be required watching, the 1202 house and what it meant to the community, pinta art and ballpoint pen as a creative practice, and what's coming — including his most personal project yet, Shut up Mijo, dropping this fall.(Note: we lost about 15–20 minutes of footage to a technical issue mid-episode. We recap what we can. It won't happen again.)—FIND REY@shutupmijo on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@shutupmijo1202 → https://twelvotwo.com/reyFIND EL TUCSONANWebsite → https://eltucsonan.comBecome a member → https://eltucsonan.com/supporters/sign_inSponsor the show → https://eltucsonan.com/pages/sponsor—CLIPS USED IN THIS VIDEO"Everything Is a Remix" by @KirbyFerguson→ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWcAnderson .Paak on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe (@ClubShayShay)→ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZRAvYVn-FU—El Tucsonan is a production of Self Media Productions LLC.

Yeah, it's a test video. No, I haven't disappeared. Episodes are recorded, more are scheduled, things are moving. I just needed to upload something to check on some technical stuff — you know how it is. If you've been supporting through Patreon, I see you and I appreciate you. For now, the best way to support is right here on YouTube. Apple Podcasts works too. Big conversations coming. Stay tuned. 🎙️ El Tucsonan | eltucsonan.com
