Don't overthink it podcast

This episode was a long time coming. Abdullah & myself Sat down and got a good origin story from one of Harrisburg’s top if not the best producer out of central Pennsylvania Dennis “AGANEE” Jenkins (@therealaganee). We talk about his musical upbringing to first studio equipment to first beats placements Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins Los Angeles you name it. Very informative episode for producers...

The title pretty much sums up the conversation. Spoke with three of my longtime friends of over 20 years about what Biggie meant to us as well as the Tupac situation and underrated/overrated emcees etc. First time having Blackston on the podcast. If any of you know him, you know that he’s very opinionated so don’t be shocked by what you hear today. Enjoy.

In this episode I went in a slight different direction than I normally go. I like the chemistry that Vinny and Myron had talking about comics and movies etc. so I decided to do a spinoff series called “For the HEADZ”. As in comic book HEADZ/movie HEADZ/Marvel/DC HEADZ. In this episode we review the latest episode of marvels Wandavision as well as go over past present and future Batman movies. Grea...

Great stories and you get a good perspective on what it’s like living in Australia. As well as somet...

In this episode Cap, Dula and myself discuss the the whole 69\meek feud and debate about snitching, street rules etc. We also get into a debate about who has the best "ear" in HipHop. Enjoy!

I speak with two of my good friends ( @lael2099 & @vincentdunnart) who are comic book aficionados and pick their brains in regards to how good or accurate are the movie adaptations to the actual comic books. We also discussed the Sony versus marvel battle as far as who owns what righ...

On this episode of the DOTI-pod I interview upcoming BoomBap producer Johnny Slash (@johnnyslashofficial). To be so young and make those types of beats is incredible.

He also has a sa...

Been looking forward to this one. Given the climate with BLM and politics I had a chance to speak with a photographer that was on the frontlines of the protests in New York City to get a real & honest perspective on what's really going on at these rallies. Also got into his start in photography as well as his HipHop roots. Listeners I give you Manny AKA Cap AKA @sadiejaesking on IG. ENJOY!!!!

In this episode Dula & myself talk about our weekend trip to the Bronx which for some reason had Dula astonished that certain areas were gentrified. Neither of us had been up to New York in about a year or so maybe more so it’s interesting to see. We also go off on tangents as we normally do and talk about some political issues as well as Harrisburg pride etc. We also get a call at the very en...

In today’s episode we initially started talking about Sneakers but then a phone call from my brother(Martin aka Saul) in jail made the episode take a completely different turn. And like I always say different tangents tend to take on a life of their own which is exactly what happened in this episode. I hope you guys enjoy.
