Impeccable taste and expertly curated mixes. If boom bap and classic rap is your thing, this show hits the pocket every time. Thanks TIP crew for all the time, energy and heart you put into this.
Masterful project. Respect.
Unsure who didn’t rate this 5 stars. This is simply the best podcast dedicated to the golden era and more. The interviews and deep analysis of the music and artists is unparalleled. Go back and listen to older episodes for some fantastic tributes.

An amazing show full of nostalgic music and super dope mixes. Each episode is different and has me rewinding cuts I missed growing up. If you love true hip hop, these guys know their stuff!
Can’t wait till Kev’s Mia X tribute show!
