Seez Mics – With SFR, Strange Famous Synergy & Absurd Hypotheticals
⚠️ Want your question read on the show? DM @dod45w on IG or drop it in the Spotify Q&A section—we actually check that now.
We’re kickin’ off Episode 114 with a return guest and Strange Famous mainstay : Seez Mics is back on the DOD45 Show to break down his collab-heavy album With SFR, a posse cut project built from the SFR group chat itself. Sage Francis, Mopes, Runt, Cas One, Early Adopted, Jesse the Tree, and more brought verses, banter, and bars—and we talk through all of it.
💬 Topics in this episode include:
– Who actually had the best verse on the album?
– What it was like creating a “group chat” in audio form
– Battle rap roots and podcast past
– Storytelling, awkward tracks, and fan-submitted chaos
– Mayo or Miracle Whip? (Thanks, Dibbs.)
– Art, trust, and the curse of “nicest guy in indie rap”
– Adrienne Googles weird stuff mid-show
– Tai draws the entire time, and yes, the guest gets the original
– Rapid-fire “Pick Your Poison” choices that get…weird
🎨 Tai's finished drawing for Seez is directly inspired by the album With SFR and is available as a print at www.dod45.com.

📽️ MOVIE RECOMMENDATION:
🎬 Run Lola Run (1998)
▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCYnsUdO6H0
A high-speed German thriller that plays with time, chance, and butterfly effects. If you missed this one back in the day, now’s the time. Fast cuts, techno pulse, and a red-haired protagonist who never stops running. Literal adrenaline cinema.
🎵 HOST MUSIC PICKS:
• Adrienne’s Pick:
”Piece of Mind” by sleepingdogs
▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr_Ux4JivvU
• Tai’s Pick:
”Goo Goo Wah Wah” by Wah Wah Watson
▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf9Y2xeg2aE
— Wah Wah pedal wizardry from 1976, funky and endlessly re-listenable.
