Throughout my life, music has consistently been a vital channel for me to process emotions and make sense of the world. Very few artists have allowed me to explore the darkness and melancholy swirling around in my head quite like Sadistik.
Since the moment I first heard Sadistik’s music over a decade ago, I was taken aback by his beautifully-poetic and vulnerable approach to creating hip-hop music.
He also had a knack for collaborating with producers who understand his artistic vision - creating moody, dark, and cinematic soundscapes for his words, working with the likes of Blue Sky Black Death, Kno of CunninLynguists fame, and most recently Maulskull, the producer for his latest opus, Oblivion Theater.
In today’s episode we dive into Sadistik’s affinity for the darker things in life, his writing process, and the makings of his great new album with Maulskull, Oblivion Theater.
