I caught up with battle rapper, painter, and recording artist Bender.
We spoke over the phone about how he got into hip hop from an elementary school project, the psychology of battling, Bender possibly having a future battle against his mom, solo music efforts as well as projects with his group Flight Distance, hitting the cheap bins at record shops for hot samples, playing live gigs with Non-Phixion as well as Run The Jewels, the Trailer Park Boys samples on the first Flight Distance album, his fascination with squids, the oddest requests for paintings he has ever received, issues with Kathleen Wynne, the micro penis sharing controversy, and so much more!
