This week, we're scratching The Itch to go retro! We're showing hometown pride again as St. Louis' own Retro Champ joins us to discuss his past, present, and future in music. Retro is the very definition of "rap rock," taking inspiration from both classic MCs and nu metallers like Linkin Park and Hed PE. We discovered him when he opened for Oxymorrons, and in this discussion we dive into that relationship, as well as other impactful relationships, such as his late mother and the recently passed Adam Ramey of Dropout Kings. Retro also speaks candidly about the challenges of staying inspired in the difficult music business. Meanwhile, Aaron can't wait to sneak in a wrestling question. This one is a good mix of insight and entertainment. Enjoy.

If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM. If you're not in the St. Louis area, you can stream the show from 891thewood.com, TuneIn, Radio.net, and OnlineRadioBox!
