Like all artists whose first real song because a huge smash, Post could end up as trapped by "White Iverson" as he is helped by it. So of course we also discussed his sound, what pressure he feels to follow-up with another big record, and what we can expect from his upcoming debut. Take notice as he specifically states, "I'm not a rapper," stressing that he also plays guitar and wants to make music that incorporates a wide range of sounds.
Future GRAMMY win or not, superstar career or not, it seems increasingly evident that Post is going to keep doing him and making the kind of music he likes, genres, labels and detractors be damned. His debut album, despite the lack of a title or release date, is on the way in 2016.
Videos focused on underground and independent hip-hop so you know tomorrow's biggest hip-hop stars before they blow, plus coverage of the best and most noteworthy mainstream artists. From dope songs to classic albums, must-hear mixtapes to buzzing rappers, DJBoothTV is the authority in hip-hop.
