Stay tuned for an exclusive leak off of our upcoming project, Mind Control 3, too. If you don’t want to listen on Soun...

There’s no better way to kick off the new year than with a conversation with the one and only Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother. Pooh and Phonte dropped one of the best albums last year in their comeback May the Lord Watch and for fans of LB, this album picked up on many of the important themes and intricate storylines from previous albums. Of course we talk about that and much more in this interv...

Hitting Episode 50 is a pretty cool milestone and the only way to properly celebrate that milestone is by inviting my big bro Poison Pen to be the guest of honor. In this interview, Pen talks about where he’s been, touring with Immortal Technique, his impact on battle rap, new music, the legendary PH, and much, much more. If you don’t want to listen on Soundcloud, you can hit up any of your favori...

Jamil Honesty is one of my favorite up-and-coming artists for his lyricism, subject matter, and overall presentation. In this interview, we talk about how he goes about getting discovered, coming from Baltimore, his critically acclaimed Martyr Music and the forthcoming Martyr Music 2 as well as how he makes beats under the alias Macabeats and, of course, his creative process. If you don’t want to...

JUSTUS League rep Cesar Comanche continues to build an incredible discography. His latest release, House Atreides, is super-conceptual and something that is better heard than explained, so go check that out AFTER you peep our interview where we actually do kind of talk about the album but also get into a lot of other important topics like his career, staying on the road, Little Brother’s new album...

Shabaam Sahdeeq has long been the epitome of New York hip-hop with raw lyrics, smooth delivery, and flows for days.

Just as South Shore, son, ain’t nothing nice, neither is the legendary Jojo Pellegrino anytime you get him near a mic. Over the years, JJP has dropped some incredible verses that prove he’s only getting better with time. In this interview, we talk about that as well as how the time is right for that album to drop. We also chop it up about his new podcast, The Jojo Pellegrino Podcast, as well as hi...

And here’s part 2 of the instant classic NEMS interview, where we talk about the 9 to 5, the independent grind and not needing a label, the FYL branding, the legendary PH, and, of course, the origin of the term “Gunther,” which should be in everyone’s lexicon if it isn’t already. If you don’t want to listen on Soundcloud, hit up any of your favorite podcasting platforms. http://twitter.com/NEMS_FY...

Even the Gunthers know that NEMS has been absolutely crushing it. His latest album Gorilla Monsoon is so nasty it forced a crew of Gunthers to go in on a tube of toothpaste. And even though NEMS still spits that ignorant shit that we all love, this is the first project where he gives us a really personal look into his life. This interview is no different, as we break down the album, his sobriety,...

Swave talks about Team Homi, PH, his illustrious battle career, his S.L.U.M.S. project with Waydah Black, but most importantly, we chop it up about how he used to put cinnamon in scrambled eggs and why Miles Morales is better than Peter Parker.

In this interview, we talk about the work he does in Richmond...

Eto and DJ Muggs’s Hell’s Roof is a master class on composing an album. There’s a clear narrative, consistent production, and no reasons to hit the “Skip” button. Hell’s Roof is both an ode to the crack era and Eto’s hometown of Rochester, also called Hell’s Roof. Over ten songs complete with the Muggs’s signature sinister and dramatic production, Eto, one of the freshest voices out, continues wha...

Eff Yoo is an artist who should be in everyone’s playlist. He’s one of those rare artists who can combine humor and wordplay while letting you know he’s not the one. We last spoke two years ago about his album The Eff Word and since then, the Lo-Life MC has released two strong EPs and countless collaborations. In this interview, we talk about his new projects, his unique style, the independent gam...

junclassic, and keep that j lowercase, is an incredible MC and dude. We go back to the early 2000’s when jun was a member of The Dynamix. One of the many benefits to staying in touch is being able to watch jun’s career evolve and grow. Always with the independent mindstate, he’s released project after project, always with fresh rhymes and an insightful outlook. On this interview, we’re chopping it...

If you’ve been paying attention, then you know that Streetrunner has been absolutely killing it for well over a decade. He’s produced for anyone who’s anyone, including Meek Mill’s “What’s Free” featuring Jay-Z and Rick Ross. But I’m catching up with Streetrunner today to talk about his work producing the Mega EP with Cormega. The last episode, you got Cormega’s perspective on the critically-accla...

On December 26th, Mega dropped the Mega EP, a five-song project produced entirely by Streetrunner. In this interview, we chop it up about the Mega EP, our book project, Understanding the True Meaning, and mo...
