Summary: The often mythologized Lord Scotch is our special guest on the 75th episode of The House List podcast. Under the moniker KEO, he's been known for his deep roots in the NYC Graf world. Yet for years, among the inner circles of old school Rap historians there has been talk of Blake / KEO / SCOTCH79th as the original White Rapper. Note the intro from 1984, two years before the Beastie Boys debut 'Licensed To Ill' was released. Brooklyn born, native, we delve deep into the topic within the frame-work of a New York City life-story. This is a hustler's tale, an artist's tale. His has had many twists and turns, up and downs. I met him through my first release on Female Fun Records, MF DOOM's 'Special Herbs' Volume 1, which he art-directed (along with Operation: Doomsday, and numerous other related titles). But even that is just a very small piece to the puzzle of this person. as you will soon come to learn. We go in, hope you enjoy. Thank you for listening.
