  • Urban Dance Squad: Rap/Rock O.G.s

    Generally entertaining show (love the stems!) but for musicologists when you miss; you miss. Specially Diallo consistently on Heavy Guitar music. Case in point UDS, way more than just "1990"; they are one of the O.G.progenitors of Rap/Rock, Rap/Metal before even RATM.

They've also ... more

  • THANK YOU.

    My passion for music is coming back in unexplainable ways. The way that music is spoken of, the layers, the depth, the instruments; Brings back everything I felt when I was a teenager and all the music I discovered just by looking into one song. Thank you for bringing some of my spark back, I needed it.

Fugees' "Ready or Not" w/ Wyclef Jean

Fugees' "Ready or Not" w/ Wyclef Jean
Q: Were you consciously thinking about pushing boundaries or were you just instinctually making the music that you wanted to hear?
We were just doing it. I was influenced just by underground music and fell in love with producing hip hop.

Boyz II Men's "Motownphilly" w/ Shawn Stockman: Part One
Q: In that moment, before the band becomes the band that is now a 35-year-old, you are what you are, before you had formed fully, and this song is one of your first songs that you recorded, did you have a sense that it might be slightly more in this direction, in that direction, the mix that it ended up being?
At the end of the day, we were just kids doing music that we liked, and music that we listen to, and it just so happened that it was inspired by production teams like the bomb squad.
