Chords & Chorus'

Rest in perfect peace to Jamal Edwards. It's a must that we start with that which I'm sure most if not all of you would agree on. In this week's episode we had our first guest (DC) join us to discuss all things music as we both appreciate her ear for music greatly. Again, we made a point of not solely focusing on new releases but covered Muni Long's 'Hrs and Hrs' and her long grind to get to this...

Our listeners by now would have noticed that our last few episodes were seemingly behind in terms of the "new" releases that we covered but enough is explained this week to clear that up. This week we got into whether or not an artist that we're sure most of you are familiar with is "on the clock" or not which turned out to become a lengthy discussion. Roddy Rich's "Live Life Fast" album had to ge...

From early doors it's clear what type of time we were on this week. Ready to talk the tings. We covered quite a lot this week from Big Sean and Hit Boy's 'What You Expect' EP to Kanye West's Drink Champs interview and everything in between. We always backtrack and visit older albums/releases that we found impactful so as per usual expect some of that too. 

If you stuck around to hear the end of our last episode you’d know how hyped we were about Don Toliver’s “Life Of A Don” release alongside James Blake’s “Friends That Break Your Heart“ album so this week we spent some time going over our reviews of both projects. As per usual we venture off but it was a must Juls’ “Sound Of My World” got a mention as there are a few gems on that project. 

Someone decided to introduce this week's episode with gun shots that probably wouldn't scare an infant. This week we got into some long anticipated projects for both of us. For Rebel it was Meek Mill's 'Expensive Pain album and for Dre it was Potter Payper's 'Thanks For Waiting' project. Ray BLK's 'Access Denied' also dropped the same week which we got into but as expected got into some UK music t...

The title for this week’s episode is pretty self explanatory, but not for everything. The legend that is Anthony Hamilton released a project which we had to talk about. Shakka blessed us with his latest offering entitled ‘Road Trip To Venus’ and Mo stack dropped the second part to his High Street Kid series. NBA YoungBoy also released his long awaited project which we covered to some degree. Long...

The first order of business for this episode was covering Wiley's 'Anti-Systemic' album which ended up taking us down memory lane and revisiting some early Grime / Garage music as well as some of the drama in the scene at the time. After being little grandads we eventually got onto K-Trap's 'Trapo' project, M1llionz's 'Provisional License and Baby Keem's 'The Melodic Blue'. Enjoy!

Rebs was really coming out with the theories this episode. This time round we had no choice but to speak about Drake's highly anticipated new album 'Certified Lover Boy' along with much of the controversy surrounding him, this album and other artists related to him. Although 'CLB' took most of the week up, we also covered other releases from that week such as Little Simz, Belly, Fee Gonzales plus...

If you don’t know why Episode 6 is called “It’s Not Okay” you will know why once you’ve listened.  This week was a big week in hip hop as one of the heavy-hitters dropped their album. We dive into Kanye’s album “DONDA” and share our opinions on it despite us not being the hugest fans of Gospel music. We got into new music video’s from the likes of Headie One, Meek Mill, Isaiah Rashad and Bobb...

During the time we recorded this episode all that was being spoken about was Drake and Kanye West and the hype that is going on around them. We took a rest from those two this week as we knew once they dropped their albums that's all we’d be talking about in future episodes. Firstly, we mentioned Mac Miller (RIP) as he was a feature on DVSN & Ty Dolla $ign newly released project ‘Cheers To The...

Here in the UK we were blessed by Dave who served his latest offering "We're All Alone In This Together" which we covered thoroughly. A lengthy conversation about the common narrative pushed about substance in music and the availability of it. What we're sure comes as no surprise...the inevitable discussion around some of the UK GOATS was had to some extent so you're set for an enjoyable episode.&...

All we seem to hear these days is about people getting their flowers while they’re here and it would seem like that’s all we did this episode. We took a trip back in time the day before we recorded this episode whereby Rebel made Andre watch what is arguably a classic DVD series (Risky Roadz). Naturally we got into revisiting a lot of artists/emcees from that era. We got into Manga Saint Hilare’s...

We were happy with our pilot episode (despite several hiccups) so we decided we were coming back for more. This time round we had no choice but to cover Santandave's 'Clash' single featuring Stormzy along with the controversy surrounding him and Chip. As promised we also covered other releases from that week.

After nearly a year of planning, plotting and scheming we finally got round to recording/filming our pilot episode of Chords & Chorus'. Naturally on our first episode we're giving everyone a feel for what our podcast will cover moving forward. We'd love to share more of what we discussed but you'll just have to listen to find out!.
