Love it. Such a breath of fresh air compared to what’s out there lately. Great compilations of old school and new sounds.

Honestly before I heard Mental Illness on the radio one Sunday afternoon I was never into hip hop. Now I can’t get enough of this podcast
Apple Podcasts5BeaverbankerCanada7 years ago - amazing
2 solid hours every week of some of the best of hip-hop, including a lot of stuff I wouldn't hear otherwise. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this is the hip-hop podcast I've been waiting for. the fact that it comes from my beloved Calgary is just the icing on the cake.
