#140 COPYWRITE INTERVIEW: THE RISE OF MHz & WEATHERMEN, MAKING THE HIGH EXHAULTED & WRITING PROCESS
The MHz Legacy veteran—famed for his venom-laced punchlines, intricate metaphors, and fearless honesty—traces his journey from a 14-year-old freestyler on a karaoke machine to dropping the cult-classic The High Exhaulted. From the moment Copywrite starts talking, it feels like stepping into the heart of the underground—where bars are weapons, beats are battlefields, and every word is earned. Along the way, we hear about shaping verses with surgical precision, building with icons like RJD2, Camu Tao, and Sean Price, and keeping the art pure in an industry quick to water it down. Every story is laced with the same gritty boom-bap DNA that made him a wordsmith’s wordsmith—unapologetic, layered, and unforgettable.
What follows is more than an interview—it’s a masterclass in creative integrity. Copywrite pulls back the curtain on the effortless synergy of MHz studio sessions, the almost cinematic themes behind albums like The Last Supper, and how time reshapes the meaning of bars once spit with youthful fire. He talks about writing from a prison cell with crystal-clear focus, the bond of squashing beef behind closed doors, and why AI can’t touch the soul of human-made art. It’s the sound of an emcee still swinging—battle-tested, sharper than ever, and living proof that the underground doesn’t fade; it just gets stronger.
