Connor is an artist from Cambridge and has built a solid foundation with a local following, and continued to improve his music. No bully, I went to his album listening party at the Lily Pad (Peep Episode 37 with my guy Gill) and the energy...

Episode 51. It was a pleasure to have Dr. Scott Sigman up to the show. This episode is conceptually different than many of our other episodes, but Dr. Sigman is the leading orthopedic surgeon in New England, and has been praised for his "anti-opioid" strategy when treating all of his patients. He has an immense knowledge on the cause of the opioid crisis in Massachusetts and we talked about where...

WOAH. 50. Remember, after you've achieved the "GOLDEN" status in the GDP Dojo, and you return for a sequel episode; you are now upgraded to the Platinum level. With that being said, shouts out to my guy WHYTRI for holding it down for a second time on the show. WHYTRI has a BIG show coming up on February 24th at the Middle East in Cambridge, I'm gonna toss the link below for anyone who wants to sna...

Episode 49: Shoutout BROCKTON! Also shoutout my guy Jiles for rolling up with Luke!

Episode 46. The Young Spitter! Glad we could finally get Mizzie over to the GDP HQ (@phxdownstudios)to chop it up. He also brought along my guy Scooba, who is seasoned in the Boston Music Scene, so the contrast in age was interesting! My guy Mizzie is 19 and put his name on the map 3 YEARS AGO, at 15 with his "Guccivelli Freestyle". Big GDP actually used this song in this video back in Spring 2018...

Episode 45. Now Introducing: Not his "Golden Hour".... but DJ Clout's Platinum Hour! We're calling it the Platinum Hour because as many of you may know, this is not Big Clout's first appearance over at the GDP Camp. The first episode we ran was back in October but due to audio problems, and Clout being a good guy, we ran a part 2. Big Nate is a DJ in the city, and also known for his social media c...

Episode 44. Big GMB Gunnaman finally locked a time brotha! I had linked with Gunnaman at the studio a couple months back and I was happy to have my guy slide up to the show.

The Crossover of the Rookie and the Vet! Noble is a the sole founder and creator of The Museum TV; which originated 5 years ago as a platform to service the music/urban culture in Boston. Before the big GDP show this summer The Museum was the only outlet I could even think to reach out to in the city, so big ups to Noble for putting on. Noble has seen Boston Music and Culture shift HUGE in the pas...

Episode 40. Over here in the GDP Camp, we celebrate every 10 Episodes, so I was fired up to have my guy Mike up on the show. Mike runs the HUGE online fitness brand and YouTube Channel, Anabolic Aliens; and we coincidentally work out at the same gym. He's a real gem in the city because we have no one else making a mark in the fitness influencer community (a massive internet sub culture right now)...

Episode 41. Big Nick Gray and his homie/roommate/media partner Ryan Schaefer came over to the GDP studios (Phoenix Down Recording- get ya session booked here), and chopped it up for a PM episode.

My guy Ryan is NICE on the video sti...

Episode 39. For those who don't know John, it's because he couldn't be a more "behind-the-scenes" type dude in the city. John is arguably the most successful musician out of Boston, as he is Young Jeezy's personal audio engineer and the owner/operator of Phoenix Down Recording, where The Golden Hours is recorded. John is an extremely generous dude, and he has additionally worked with huge artists...

Lolo the God is a Brockton-Based producer who has been around Boston Music for a while no. He has BIG credits on projects with Millyz and Vintage Lee, and he's got his hand in a bunch of other ventures, like fashion and DJing around the city. Overall, a good dude! Run it up for...

Episode 37. For Episode 37, we had to temporarily leave the GDP HQ (Phoenix Down Recording) and ship it a smooth 10 minute drive up the street to the Lily Pad in Inman's Square, and chop it up with the owner Gill Aharon. Gill created the Lily Pad as a space for local music and art nearly 20 years ago and more recently this space has become an opportunity for TINY artists to throw their own shows....

Episode 36: Second Episode of 2019 (also filmed in 2018) was a good one for the kids! Had to have my guy Lionel up to the show. For those who don't know: Lionel is a long time booking agent (talent buyer) over at the historic Middle East in Central Square- which is the most popping venue for local music in the city. Lionel specifically books Rock Music in the city, but coincidentally booked my sho...

Episode 35: THE FIRST EPISODE OF 2019 (recorded in 2018 though...), is Newton's Own Mike Fellow. Mike's a rapper that is currently attending UMass and performed with buddy/fellow nut snagger Youngface this summer at this big GDP show. Mike's music, sonically, is much different than the average Massachusetts artist so it was good to have him come through and have him talk about his tape. We also ha...

We had Rox and Deon from the Chefz over to the GDP Hideout (Phoenix Down Recording) to kick some game about marketing their artists in Boston.

Episode 32. This one is for the PC Kids dawg! For those who don't know Adam and I have been buddies for a while and we met at PC, and were both notorious for not really being great students. Adam started his music career with BIG shows at PC (some hosted by Big Boachie), and he also dropped a couple singles while there. I call him the 4th Jonas Brother. Now he gigs in some of the fattest spots in...

Episode 29: As a part of the "Phoenix Down Family Sub Season", I had to have my guy big money Geechi slide up to run his podcast. Geechi is an engineer and artist, and works as an intern at big Phoenix Down.

Episode 28: For Episode 28 had to get my dawg Marika on the show. If you have ever been to a show in Boston in the last 5 years, chances are you've seen her there holding her camera taking mad freshies. She's been around the block and there is no one with a better perspective on the current state of Boston Music and it's growth from when she started taking pictures. She knows everything, and has s...
