BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Sixman interview session! As many of you know, Michigan hip-hop holds a special place in our hearts here at Southern Vangard - the impact it’s had on hip-hop in the early days through today is profound.

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.

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 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 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.

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...

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.
