#07 - Anthony Piper and his Trill League

On Some Hip Hop Sh!t Presented by Meltdown Comics

In this episode Brando Calrissian and Wednesdays Finest welcome Anthony Piper creator of Trill League (the ladies already know). Piper gives us the definition of Trill, Brando misquotes Rick Ross lyrics, and we get into the genesis of the Trill league project from a facebook post to a full blown comic series and overfunded kickstarter project. A hip hop parody of DC's Justice League, Anthony's project has gained thousands of fans (more importantly funders) and also more than a few detractors. So we get into a heavy convo on the the state of "Black Comics" and the freedom of creating outside the expected paradigm. We also chart Anthony's path as a self taught artist, changing careers, and collaborating with (Character Designer) Chase Conley.
