Musician Andrew Broder and ESPN/Minnesota Timberwolves announcer Michael Grady will pull from their collections of classic hip-hop, R&B, and jazz to keep your head nodding and share the mic to get the crowd hyped between Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Playoffs Round 1.
Andrew Broder has dedicated the better part of his life to carving out a singular path in music and art. A lifelong resident of Minneapolis, MN, Andrew has done time as a cutting battle DJ, a challenging and thoughtful improviser, a soundtrack composer, a working sideman, a producer, a remixer, a beat-maker, a poet, a beauty creator, a brutal noisemonger, and—above all—a fearless, restless, and provocative songwriter. In recent years, he has been more productive than ever, expanding his circle of connected artists even wider, and expanding his sensibilities into the visual realm as a painter.
His work is a study in surprise. With his records as Fog, he redefined the turntable as a compositional tool, and his subsequent contributions to avant hip-hop, rock, jazz, and noise have been equally engaging and envelope-pushing. He has released records on renowned indie labels, such as Ninja Tune, Lex, and Totally Gross National Product, and he has worked with an incredibly wide ranging cast of artists, including Bon Iver, Poliça, Marijuana Deathsquads, Dua Saleh, FPA, Armand Hammer, Serengeti, The National, and Dave King.
Michael Grady is an NBA play-by-play announcer for the Minnesota Timberwolves and ESPN. His distinctive baritone, sense of humor, and memorable one-shot catchphrases have earned him high praise in the ranks of sports media and attached him to multiple viral highlight-reel moments. He is a hip-hop head and a people person, someone who can comfortably traverse pop culture, who lets his audience in on the joke and has a feel for community.
