    Love the basis of where this pod started plus our protagonists were there while the foundation was being built. The insight and candor is what will/has separated it from the pack (if there is one). Hitting me w topics on some of my favorite albums Dah Shinin, By Design, Blah Blah Blah, or subject matter like O.C. made me so happy. (LOVE that Nikka Costa record) Would love to see a used records of Smoothe Da Hustler, Virtuoso, Cormega, Deca, Infectious Organisms or a Monolith of OutKast’s first a... more

  • The Cartoonist Kayfabe of Hip-Hop

    This is one of my favorite podcasts I currently listen to. To me they remind me of Cartoonist Kayfabe, but instead of talking comics, they talk Rap. Alaska, Curly Castro, and Zilla Rocca are very talented rappers themselves. I love their extensive knowledge of the Underground Scene of the late 90’s/ early 2000’s, which is unlike any other podcast that’s out there. Whenever the crew brings on a guest for an interview (such as Dose One & Breeze Brewing,) I’m all ears.

    I also appreciate the blind ... more

    Always a good listen. I discovered it during the covid lockdowns so there was a good backlog of episodes for me to catch up with. I’ve since listened to all of them and now I look forward to a new episode every week.

    I was a fan of Alaska’s group Hangar 18 when they were on Def Jux, but had never heard anything by Castro or Zilla. This podcast put me on to their music and the music of all the dope guests they’ve had on and it’s made me go back and re-listen to the classic albums and artists th... more

  • unrivaled greatness

    It is hard to describe how good this podcast is, because there is not much out there to use as a comparison. If you get why ego trip magazine back issues sell for ludicrous prices these days you will thoroughly enjoy the shows. Just enough of everything, entertaining for sure, also informative, with the sensibilities of good morning radio and 90s college mix shows blended into unrivaled greatness.
