Episode 220: "Cotton Field Hills!" Feat. Que Heffe In this powerful episode, we sit down with Southern rap artist Que Heffe for an in-depth conversation about his deeply personal and sonically rich new album, Cotton Field Hills. With raw honesty and poetic vision, Heffe takes us through the emotional landscape of the project—from the haunting echoes of his roots in the rural South to the struggles, pride, and resilience that shaped his identity and music. Listeners will get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, including the album's production, lyrical themes, and the collaborators who helped bring his vision to life. Heffe opens up about reclaiming painful histories, blending blues, trap, and gospel influences, and why Cotton Field Hills is more than just an album—it's a statement of legacy, survival, and truth. If you're a fan of storytelling through music, cultural commentary, or just want to hear from one of hip-hop’s rising voices, this is a must-listen. /episode/index/show/wedontmaketherules/id/37770690
