Southern Vangard

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep232! It’s battle of the browns this week folks, Kentucky vs Tennessee as Meeks rolled up to the Dirty Blanket Studios with a bottle of some of TN’s finest whiskey, Uncle Nearest - and put it head to head with Doe’s Old Bardstown. Just off that alone, there’s not much explaining to do - you can imagine this is quite the episode. 2019 is far from over as far as new mu...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the ANKHLEJOHN interview session! We’ve been locked in to this DC MC/producer and overall renaissance man since his 2017 release “RED ROOM” - specifically when him and CAMOFLAUGE MONK dropped that “Rayful Edmond” missile on the world - it was one hell of a night at Southern Vangard HQ when we dropped that in the mix on Ep133. We get Ankh Nasty on the phone to...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep231! Make room, Vangardians, as Doe & Meeks crank out another two pieces of stellar content to get you through the week!

Count called in to give us the inside scoop on “Edibles”, his brand new instrumental proj...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the SAUCE HEIST interview session! We’re on a roll with in-studio interview sessions at the moment - we ran into the homie Sauce at A3C this year, and managed to catch him again this week while he was in town doing some work in the A. Sauce is fresh off the “Spanish Sauce” EP with producer Spanish Ran, so we get the run down on that project, why Sauce had a m...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep230! Coming off what will go down as the most significant release week of 2019, at least as far this rap shit goes, your guys Doe & Meeks couldn’t be happier. A BRAND SPANKING NEW GANG STARR ALBUM THAT’S AN INSTANT CLASSIC?! Yeah we don’t EVER say that - but we’re saying it now. “ONE OF THE BEST YET “ is out now…MAN. Throw in the new Westside Gunn, the Brother Ali &...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the ULTRA BEAST interview session! It’s only right we have rhyme animals 4-IZE & SEÑOR KAOS for our Thursday interview session this week, given Halloween falls on a Thursday this year. These two Atlanta MC’s have come together again to form as ULTRA BEAST and are dropping their 2nd LP “UNITED” on Nov. 8th. They dropped by for an in-studio interview to talk ab...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep229! BIG MEEKS BACK, BIG MEEKS BACK, THAT’S ALL THESE FANS SCREAMING THAT BIG MEEKS BACK!

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep227! Hey ho there folks, it’s that time of the week, so WALCOME to you all! Doe & Meeks have you covered with all the latest raw ish here on Ep227, and there’s quite a bit of it this week as as our scheduled interviewee for our Thurs interview session was a straight NO SHOW. Their loss, not ours nor yours - that just means you get a longer, plentiful mix this week a...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jazzsoon interview session! If you don’t this gentleman, get up to speed NOW. This producer blew the doors off 2019 early alongside PNC Nems with “Gorilla Monsoon” - a blistering 13-track LP that is hands down a top tier contender for AOTY and over time will go down in history as a bonafide classic - yeah we said it. We get Jazz on the horn to talk about...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep226! Good friends of THE GARD, WALCOME to another fun filled episode with your friends Meeks & Doe.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Chris Crack interview session! We head to the Chi this week for our Thursday interview session, and man is this a special one.

This week Chris is celebrating with our good frien...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Left Lane Didon interview session! It’s our opinion here at Southern Vangard Radio that Delaware is the next spot to watch. This MC and his extended crew - Jay Nice, All Hail Y.T. and Chris Skillz to name a few - and the production team they’ve assembled over the past 2-3 years, is a force to be reckoned with. We get Left on the horn to talk about his rel...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jamal Gasol interview session! We stayed upstate NY this week after our M.A.V. interview session last week - you just can’t front on the pedigree that’s coming out of the region now - and Niagara Fall’s own Jamal Gasol is no exception.

Maverick has the stoved turned up w...

Who might that be with, you ask? None other than M.A.V. of Da Cloth! He has a new EP dropping any day now called “Dust To Dust” with...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the G4 Jag interview session! This Harlem MC has been manhandling 2019 ever since he dropped “The Survivors”, a project that featured white-hot Flee Lord and L-Biz, which found itself on vinyl via Dutch label De Rap Winkel - and now has a hefty asking price in collectors circles. He hasn’t stopped since with two projects this summer - “Nothing Was Given” and...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep219! Folks - this week is off the f*cking rails, straight up. Doe & Meeks bring you FOUR WORLD WIDE EXCLUSIVES in Ep219, two of them courtesy of TOP SHELF PREMIUM - who we also have an interview with at the end of the mix this week to talk about his jaw dropping “SUPPLY & DEMAND” event with MEYHEM LAUREN & friends in Brooklyn on Aug 30.
