  • Love the Podcast, but the Audio Needs Work

    Been listening to you guys for a while, love the show! Only minor gripe is that it’s very hard for me to hear you guys sometimes, even with volume all the way up. Keep up the good work though!

  • Great podcast but can’t hear it…

    I’m a middle aged man whose been listening to hip hop too loudly for over 30 years.

    Please turn up the audio. Sometimes it’s so low I can’t even listen to the episode.

    Besides that, I really do love the podcast. I just wish I could hear it better.

  • Very Solid Hip Hop Podcast

    The guys can come off a bit pedantic and snobbish at times but their hearts are in the right place. Their love and respect for the culture is unquestionable.

    Would love to see a spin-off show dedicated to Billy woods.

  • Digging, scratching and (sometimes) skipping

    This show scratches an itch for me. I don’t live in a place with a lot of hip hop heads and, if I do meet someone to geek out a bit with, their knowledge doesn’t usually doesn’t go beyond the top crust of the underground. DBRP digs deep and I’m always finding new treasure. Plus they’re just smart funny guys whose knowledge and commentary extends beyond hip hop and I’m here for it… except the basketball talk, when the ⏩️ button gets mashed. So long and thanks for all the puns!

Episode #335 Just Grindin' with guest Chester Watson
Q: You mentioned when you were 14, I believe like 2012, that's when Phantom went viral. Can you kind of talk a little about that?
It was surreal because I was in high school while watching my song's views explode. It was bittersweet, but it kept me from bad situations.
Episode #335 Just Grindin' with guest Chester Watson
Q: How did you come up with the title of your new record?
I got it from a Vincent Price segment I was sampling, related to historical psychological warfare during World War II.

Q: Can you talk about your mindset going into The Years We Have and is it a reflection on mortality a little bit?
