We got more twice a week goodness on deck again - gobs of new treats from the underground and yet ANOTHER in...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 185! Big week at Southern Vangard as DJ Jon Doe drops Maxi-Single Sessions Vol. 2 feat. J57 on Southern Vangard / FiveSe7enCollective / Soulspazm.

We get into a few joints from the record as well all KINDS of new...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the P. Watts & Large Professor interview session! This is one for the ages Vangardians. If the surprise that Watts, Breakbeat Lou, Opio and Classic Material cooked up with Extra P for our #WeAreTheGard showcase at #A3C18 wasn’t enough - how about an IN-STUDIO interview a mere few weeks later with Watts & LP?!?! These two gentlemen dropped by the lab along wit...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 184! Boy oh boy oh boy oh BOY do we have something special for ya’ll this week. As a result of this special-ness, we had to do something a little different for this mix this week given we didn’t have time to crank out a new one. HOWEVER, the good folks at Techniques Radio / Wrecking Crew All Stars let us post DJ Jon Doe’s set from his appearance at WREK 91.1 FM Atl...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the PF Cuttin interview session! We stayed another week Brooklyn after talking to Kenny Dope last week, and sit down with the one and only PF Cuttin. PF & O.C. of D.I.T.C. dropped a new album this week called Opium - a searing 9 cut project that was born of out the ashes of a tragedy - the tragic passing of PF’s best friend, the one and only Sean Price. PF br...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 183! Hey there good people - as we say around these parts….WALCOME! Meeks & Doe keep the torch lit as they do every week - and sincerely thank you for following the light. TONS of joints that are fresh off the press this week for Ep183 this week - if they’re not exclusives they JUST dropped and more than likely you heard it here first. For this weeks interview sess...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Kenny Dope interview session! What more can you say Vangardians - it’s Kenny DOPE. If you don’t know the man’s resume, do your Googles. We interviewed Rasheed Chappell a few weeks ago in anticipation of he and Kenny’s “First Brick” - a mind melting return for the duo some 7 years after their first collaborative effort, “Future Before Nostalgia”. That inte...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 182! Meeks & Doe have a little extra pep in their step this week as fall has finally landed in the A and they’re still riding high off the “WeAreTheGard A3C showcase from a few weeks ago. The bar stays high this week with gobs of the latest hip-hop on this here Ep182 mix and we have a 1 hour interview session dropping Thursday with legendary DJ/producer KENNY DOPE!...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the #WeAreTheGard A3C Recap interview session! If you didn’t hear already, our A3C showcase with Speakeasy Promotions was out of this world.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 181! Good people - this is our first mix show in a few weeks. As you have probably realized, we’ve been quite busy getting ready for the Southern Vangard / Speakasy Promotions #WeAreTheGard showcase at A3C that went down last Friday. All we can say is - if you weren’t there, you should have been. Not only was the lineup insane - Bumpy Knuckles, Opio of Souls of Mis...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents The A3C Pre-Game Interviews! We were on hiatus last week folks, but we’re back with a barnstormer this week as we have NINE interviews across a two hour interview session. If you haven’t heard, we’re throwing quite a party with Speakeasy Promotions at A3C this year. It all goes down on Friday, Oct. 5th at 529 EAV with Bumpy Knuckles, Opio of Souls of Mischief...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents #TheBadSeed interview session! This Brooklyn bred MC has been putting it down for decades, and is back with a brand new full length LP with #Nottz on Sept 28th, entitled #NoWayInHell. We premiered a few cuts off the album on Ep180 - WORLD EXCLUSIVES, we might add - in addition to having a lengthy, in-depth & entertaining chat about how the album came to be. S...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 180! This is another week for the ages Vangardians - we have more WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVES for you this week in conjunction with our upcoming Thursday interviewee, The Bad Seed! Seed & Nottz have a brand new LP dropping Sept 28 called “No Way In Hell” on Crisis Center Collective (big up to DJ Concept) and you can hear THREE never before heard joints on this very episod...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Rasheed Chappell interview session! Let’s just start with this - if 1/2 of SVR, the one and only South Memphis Meeks, can’t stop talking about an upcoming MC’s album, that artist must be special - because that NEVER happens. That happens to be the case with this weeks interview session, as Meeks can barely contain himself given Rasheed and the legendary K...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 179! Hey now folks - it’s another one of those exclusive type weeks here at SVR. We just can’t help but stunt with all this EXCLUSIVE material every week, so we keep the collars popped as we have TWO EXCLUSIVES from Rasheed Chapell and Kenny Dope’s upcoming “First Brick” EP that drops this Friday, Sept. 14th! If that wasn’t enough, we have an interview session with...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 178! Hope everyone had a grand Labor Day weekend - we ripped a page out of the take it easy book this week ourselves and only did a mix show, so there’s no interview session this week. Regardless, lots of brand new joints, comedy non-stop from your guys Doe & Meeks, and let’s face it - you haven’t listened to all of the interviews anyway, so go back and catch up if...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the UllNevaNo interview session! We head to Charm City this week to connect with a new favorite here at Southern Vangard Radio - UllNevaNo from the MGNTK collective. This guy dropped off his latest record with Norfolk producer MANHE, called “SHAMGOD” just over a month ago, and we’ve been scratching our heads ever since trying to understand how we slept on thi...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 177! This week is a real treat good people - not only does Ep177 have all the new treats you’ve come to expect every week - it also has a SISONGSET, a SEVESONGSET (peace to NJ2AK) - AND we have TWO WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVES from Balitmore’s own UllNevano & illien Rosewell! When we say worldwide exclusives - we mean this is the first place they’ve been played on planet e...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Vic Spencer interview session! This Chicago MC has been shredding mics for over a decade now, and doesn’t show any signs up letting up - one look at his releases to date in 2018 and you wonder if he ever sleeps! We kick things off by chatting with Vic about his ever important work with Chicago youth, how he leverages music and subsequent relationships in...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 176! Woooooh boy we got a doozy for y’all this week good people! How about TWO WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVES from Chicago’s own VIC SPENCER?!?! These joints can’t be found anywhere but here! Go ahead, wipe those tears of joy from your eyes, because we also have an extensive interview session with Vic on Thursday! Check interview snippets at the end of Ep176 to get ready for...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jamo Gang interview session! Our friends J57 and El Gant stopped by for an in-studio interview (sans Ras Kass), for an update on all things Jamo Gang, as they were in the A this week for a show @ 529 in East Atlanta. We get the scoop on their cross country Canadian tour back in the spring, why Gant was adamant about driving the entire way and the myriad o...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 175! Let’s cut straight to it - Ep175 is short this week, folks. We had 2/3 of the Jamo Gang (J57 & El Gant) in studio for an incredible interview that went long, and afterwards they played us a bunch of the upcoming Jamo Gang album and we ended up being on FaceTime with one of the greatest hip-hop DJ / producer’s of all time. Doe and Meeks still gotta get up and g...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Ty Farris interview session! Ya’ll know we’re big fans of Detroit hip-hop here at Southern Vangard Radio - when we kicked off this show in 2015, a new wave of sound was coming out of the D in the form of Nolan The Ninja, Clear Soul Forces, Ty and many others. Since then, he has continued to ride that wave - if not command it - and he’s mashing through 201...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 174! We have another WORLD EXCLUSIVE for y’all this week folks! We dropped the Kev Brown #Homework album preview and interview session last week - this week we head to the Motor City and give y’all an album preview to Ty Farris’ “No Cosign, Just Cocaine 2”! We have 5 joints off the album in this weeks mix AND an interview session that drops on Thursday in preparati...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Kev Brown interview session! There isn’t much to say about this gentleman other than he’s one of the best to do it, and continues to cement his legacy with every piece of music he’s a part of. We last heard from Kev on our interview with partner-in-crime and good friend of Southern Vangard Radio, J. Scienide back in 2015. This week, however, we got a one-...
