BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 199! We’re back folks, and there’s only one episode left until we hit Ep 200 of our mix show, can you believe it? All that on top of 163 interviews - come on ya’ll, admit it - this is about as good as it gets! This week we have so many joints to pick from we can’t keep track, but the most incredible thing is we have FIVE, count ‘em, FIVE WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVES, all s...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 198! Ohhhhhh, don’t fret, folks - we know this week isn’t your regularly scheduled program here at SVR - life just plain got in the way this week. Doe & Meeks had to handle a ton of fam & work biz this week that prevented them from dropping that regular twice a week goodness that you’re used to. Not to fret, we reached out to friend of Southern Vangard Radio, the o...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Ice Lord interview session! Over the past year, we’ve become big fans of this Orlando by way of Cleveland MC/producer. The quality and consistency in 2018 speaks for itself, and he kicked off 2019 in a big way with “Burnt Offerings,” a collaboration with Lynn, MA’s own Estee Nack - who we are also big fans of and interviewed in early 2018. Ice’s story is...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 197! Even on a Super Bowl Sunday when the big game is taking place in our own city - we’re still in the kitchen whipping up the goods for the week! No SB parties for Doe and Meeks - hell, we didn’t even watch the game! We’re focused on holding the line on this underground rap business for better or worse. As episode 200 of our mix show inches closer, we keep the ne...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Finn interview session! We love the Toronto underground - they are holding it down heavy courtesy of producers such as Bozack Morris to Futurewave, MCs like Daniel Son, Dnte, Saipher Soze, Raspy and Asun Eastwood, not to mention film makers like Mercenary. Multi-talented Finn from the Brown Bag Money click and Gold Era Music is another one of those produc...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 196! Shake off the jitters folks, Doe & Meeks are back on the block serving’ up that raw this week! Sandwiched in between the latest and greatest underground hip-hop you can find anywhere, Jon manages to find his inner and outer whiteness while Meeks talks way more trash that he usually does. We also pulled off another incredible interview session this week as we h...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jay Royale interview session! Last November, this East Baltimore native dropped one of 2018’s best LP’s in the form of “The Ivory Stoop” - and after running into him at the Main Source / J Scienide / Raw Wattage show in DC last week, we asked ourselves why in the world haven’t we had him on the show yet!? We locked in with Jay Royale this week to talk abo...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 195! Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey HEY - wait just ONE second - the clock hasn’t run out yet, it’s still Tuesday - as long as drops by 11:59pm on Tuesday, we good. Per the usual, Doe & Meeks have a fresh batch of that raw uncut on our Ep195 mix, like they do every week - with a side of colorful commentary to boot, all the while munching on healthy rap snacks and...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Ca$ablanca interview session! If you happened to witness our #WeAreTheGard #A3C showcase last fall with Speakeasy Promotions, one of the undeniable highlights was seeing Ca$a, The Architect & Nowaah the Flood rip down 529 with searing beats & lyrics alongside textbook command of the stage, which left folks in attendance wanting more. Shortly after that pe...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 194! Happy 2nd week in January folks, your guys Doe & Meeks are back in the saddle for another round of fresh new hip-hop, trash talking and interview session! The flood gates aren’t closing any time on the over abundance of rap music - it’s damn near overwhelming - but we plucked the cream of the crop out again for Ep194. We head West, but stay in the South this w...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Ralphiie Reese interview session! This MC/Producer, along with the entire Dart Unit collective, has been making tremendous waves over the past couple of years. Kount Dartula dropped his latest project, “Arrow Bowie” at the end of 2018, so we get the inside info on that release, how collabs with J Scienide, RIgz and the other Dart Unit members came togethe...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 193! Hey there good people, we got two more in the chamber this week, and if it ain’t already special every week, Doe went crazy during the last set of the Ep193 mix this week with the FIRST 10 song set at Southern Vangard Radio - NJ2AK, we surmise that would officially be called a TENSONSET! If that’s not impressive enough for you, he quick-mixed it all - 10 joint...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Rome Streetz interview session! This NY MC bulldozed through 2018 all the way until the very end of the year. From Hip-Hop Album of The Year nods for his “Street Farmacy” project with Farma Beats to the end of the year grenade he dropped off, “Noise Candy 2: The Re-Up” - this guy is holding a very bright torch and has quickly found himself at the forefron...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the NapsNdreds interview session! This South Floridian by way of St. Andrews, Jamaica MC re-entered the scene in 2016 after a brief hiatus with an end-to-end burner of an album titled “Bloodclaat”. Tastemakers like DJ Eclipse, DJ Premier helped spread the gospel which ultimately helped tee up Naps new LP with Nottz that dropped this week - “Trouble And A Pair...
