the interview show: yo! majesty
As Shunda K states in an impromptu interaction with a fan on YouTube, “Ain’t nobody doing it like YO! MAJESTY. There’s no competition.”
She is absolutely correct.
Shunda K and Jwl B make up one of the more interesting indie hip hop acts out there right now. The group is so interesting because they are not really known in hip hop circles–so far, Yo! Majesty have been almost exclusively embraced by the indie scene. They have been featured in magazines like XLR8R and URB, and toured with hipster darlings, CSS and The Gossip.
On top of that, Yo! Majesty are on the UK label, Domino Records—the home of Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys to name a few—and their beats are programmed by UK based electro duo Hard Feelings UK. A curious match considering Shunda is proud to represent “Itty Bitty” Planet City, Florida, USA.
When I called Shunda K from Yo! Majesty to do this interview, I was greeted by a strange gruff female voice. After Shunda took the call, she told me that she and her girlfriend were currently working through a disagreement.
Shunda was polite enough to do the interview—even though it was likely lengthening her stay in the doghouse!

Fan Death - When the Money’s Right
***The term, “Fan Death” is a Korean urban legend which states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause the death (bysuffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia) of those inside.
Fans manufactured and sold in Korea are equipped with a timer switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes, which users are frequently urged to set when going to sleep with a fan on.
The Korea Consumer Protection Board (KCPB), a South Korean government-funded public agency, issued a consumer safety alert in 2006 warning that “asphyxiation from electric fans and air conditioners” was among South Korea’s five most common seasonal summer accidents or injuries, according to data they collected!!!!!
