Moplex brings a special guest from Louisiana: Moose Harris. We talked about some of his experiences being a seasoned veteran of hip-hop and while he saw stormy days in the 5 Deadly Questions, the crawfish looked delicious. We apologize for times when the audio was compromised. Enjoy.

We suffered from technical problems in episode 80 but we struke back with a vengeance with DJ Bush! He brought 4 winning songs from his 60 Second Showcase and they all were bar setters!

Los Lauren returned to the Set The Bar Mixshow to walk us through his most recent release, Jabs. We also learned about how not to eat Deadfish which is something our Dads warned us about as a kid. It's all here in episode 79.

Platinum producer Nick Speed had a lot to say and had a very difficult time in the #5DeadlyQuestions. However, his rich hip-hop resume includes producing for Lloyd Banks, 50 Cent and Elzhi. We got the scoop on how all this happened and it's strange how Kanye West played a role in Speed's success.

Azariah and his producer Laddie touched down all the way from Rochester, NY to exhibit their new LP, Phase 3: Blessed and Highly Favored. What we found was hip-hop that is reminiscent of the golden era (1990-2000) when beats and bars had more value by artists and their listeners. Luckily for you, it's all here in this episode.

Due to technical difficulties, we had to skip episodes as they were plagued with audio issues. Umbravo, the Southern Lyricist, returns to the mixshow to showcase tunes from his new, Magnum Opus LP. It got really interesting in the Snakes Den as he navigated through the #5Deadly Questions. Will he survive?

The King returned on the mixshow to showcase his most recent LP, Let Me Explain. The King proved that he can consistently set the bar. The question becomes, does this project raise it?

Detroit is certified in kicking out premium hip-hop for the world. But what happens when we certify Valid as an Indi, Detroit artist that sets the bar? We spun his records to prove to you our certification is Valid.
