The Topic Is / Music He'd Want to Hear

Austin alternative rap artist Ryan Dove joins Mr Durite on The Topic Is. Influenced by Tyler the Creator, BROCKHAMPTON, Teezo Touchdown, and MF DOOM, Ryan blends humor, honest storytelling, and sharp lyricism into songs that feel real without taking themselves too seriously. We talk about carving out a lane in Austin's independent scene, the live energy he's known for, and why he makes the kind of music he'd want to hear. #RRL #RhythmAndRiseLive #TheTopicIs #DuriteNetwork #AustinMusic #AlternativeHipHop #IndependentArtist
