This week, I sit down with California-based underground rapper Pigeon John whose current sound is a genre-fusing style with positive, easily relatable lyrics. We discuss the early days of rapping on G4TV and growing up in Hawthorne, California. We also dive a bit into his spirituality, chatting about values as a former Christian hip-hop star and an MC who sings more than he raps. The song’s on his latest album are energetic jive functions as an ode to misfits, rebels and creatives alike. We also

Joshua Henry made a name for himself in his Tony-nominated turn in Scottsboro Boys and as Aaron Burr in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. As he progressed through Broadway, TV, and film roles, Henry’s heart beat out rhythms, his voice ringing with clarion emotion.

Skyzoo joins me on the podcast this week to chat about the vision the MC had from his brownstone stoop on St. James Place, just down the block from The Notorious B.I.G.'s old stomping grounds.

Bedroom Beethovens ·

2021/01/27

Dixon Hill's music is the boom bap mantra of a musical nomad; reflecting the emotions and humor of a man who's had to climb his way out of obscurity. He was living out of his van, traveling the country, digging for records, and working any gig he could find. With an SP-404, an analog tape machine, and a portable turntable, he crafted two beat tapes which eventually led to a watershed collaboration with Detroit rapper Guilty Simpson called 'Actus Reus'. We talk about the journey; the 10,000 hours

This episode focuses on Headnodic via Oakland, California, by way of Boston as a founding member of the groups Mission: and Crown City Rockers. I try to get to the core that explains his beautiful beats and rhymes and the fact that all his collabs, whether its Infamous TAZ, Raashan Ahmad, Rico Pabón, El-P or Lateef the Truth Speaker, it always flawlessly fits together like bread & butter, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, bacon & eggs, pencil and paper, Primo and Gu’you get the idea.

2021/01/13

"Missio" is Latin for mission. And what at one time began as a side project for singer-songwriter Matthew Brue has now shifted into the main mission. Accompanied by producer and instrumentalist David Butler, MISSIO sports an alternative/electronic sound with beat-driven hip-hop undertones. Since they're based in Austin, TX and just dropped a video for their song “Cry Baby (feat. Paul Wall)” I thought it would be great to catch up with the duo to talk about their life, navigating through the year

2020/12/23

I celebrate my 100th episode by inviting one of my personal favorite producers of all time, Detroit's own, Apollo Brown. He is constantly conjuring fresh innovations out of a tried-and-true formula. The drums are hard and nasty. The full effect blends sadness, depression, and tenderness with the savage ferocity of brass knuckles hip-hop. For the last decade, the Mello Music Group artist has singularly re-defined and expanded the foundation of what boom bap production can sound like in the 21st

Ray Angry aka Mister Goldfinger's goal is to inspire social and economic change through music because it is a universal language and you can create harmony together. By doing so, we talk about the genius behind a number of musicians he's worked with including Geri Allen, Steve Wilson, Christina Aguilera and more. We run a scenario on how he'd score a Martin Scorsese film, and we chat about how the pandemic has ramped up his songwriting output during these strange times. Of course, we also run it

We talk about influences of yacht rock, Israeli folk, Balkan, Mizrahi, jazz, and rock music and the art of sampling. A jazz-like responsiveness to the input of collaborators is a key component

Off the heels or oral surgery and Bradventure III, Ohbliv swings by the podcast to chat about east coast living, making beats via the pandemic, racism, and the future. An all-encompassing conversation that leaves no stone uncovered as I pry into the mind of the prolific Mutant Academy member. While the rest of Virginia was smirking at the Simpson trial, Ohbliv was busy being a classically trained producer making lo-fi, soul-based, crate diggin’ backpacker music. I also pitch an idea for his next

Eli Escobar is the quintessential New York City DJ. Over the past ten years he's built a reputation around his parties, and we revisit the last days of FatBeats, Turntable Lab, and the New York music scene. A life obsessing over disco records, we chat about Madonna, Velvet Rope, the pandemic, and his new EP Night Class. He was prepared to disregard them entirely until one evening he was listening back and ended up grouping five of those tracks together and began to hear them in a new way. It's an
