🎙 Much Given, Much Tested — And Now, Much Revealed
🔥 This is a brand-new Series 8 episode of The DOD45 Show! We’re well into the hundreds now, and who better to help us burn into the next era than lyrical powerhouse, Richmond emcee, educator, and WRIR radio host BlackLiq.
In this high-voltage episode, we go track-by-track through BlackLiq’s album Much Given, Much Tested and dive headfirst into everything from parenting and pressure to calling out predators by name and writing verses that linger in your bones.
Tai draws imagery from the album live while BlackLiq answers a relentless parade of deep, absurd, and revealing questions:
• Would he rather lose a toe in a kung-fu tournament or a finger in a table saw accident?
• What time of day does he eat lunch—and does it ruin everything?
• What trauma still sits in his lyrics?
Plus:
• The return of Mr. Dibbs for the “Mayo vs. Miracle Whip” debate
• Our “First, Worst, Thirst” segment with some brutal crowd stories
• Wild hypotheticals about Nicolas Cage
• Shoutouts to Slug, Sa-Roc, Haphduzn, Mopes, Michael Alan Alien, Noah-O, and more
• And a taste of what makes BlackLiq one of the most honest voices in indie rap today
🎬 Episode Movie Recommendation:
Athena (2022) – Directed by Romain Gavras
An explosive French action-drama about three brothers reeling from the killing of their youngest sibling by police. The opening scene is a one-shot riot that will shake you awake.
