Tonight on the Fringe Radio Show, host Al-D will be talking with Spoken Nerd. The two will recap the Kentucky-native’s vast recording catalog, and get into the upcoming Braggin’ Rights Rap City Throw Down event which will be held February 11 at The Building.

Blending “satirical indie hip-hop” and “prophetic-poetic talk music,” Spoken Nerd is a self-described atypical Hip Hop/Indie Pop project, most recently showcasing his “delightfully abnormal style” on last year’s We Are Probably Going To Make It In This World After All. Check out the video for “I Wish Those Jerks Had Never Killed JFK” (from the release) below, and don’t forget to tune in tonight at 6:00pm (Central) for the Fringe Radio Show on Radio Free Nashville 103.7 FM (which is also streaming online at RadioFreeNashville.org).
