Enigmatic LA producer Real Bad Man drops FREAKS ONLY’s first all hip-hop guest mix.
Real Bad Man is the enigmatic LA-based producer behind the boards of two of 2025’s strongest records — Conversational Pieces with frequent collaborator, Boldy James, and his album with Willie The Kid, Midnight. He also teamed with Zeelooperz earlier this year on the LP Dear Psilocybin, and produced the excellent late-era Kool Keith record Serpent in 2023.
Dig in now for Real Bad Man’s FREAKS ONLY guest mix — the first all hip-hop mix in the history of the show.
