90's hip-hop nostalgia

If you used to listen to hip-hop in the 90s with your mates, you'll love this.

Love this podcast. Great interviews and awesome guests. Keep up the good work. Would love to see a live video interview one day.

Surprisingly entertaining for some middle class UK mfs

I gotta be honest, I was like, "Why would I wanna know what the least hip hop thing you've done is?" but it gives background to these cats and you know what? They know what they're talking about, I dont agree with all of it but I enjoyed the debates,loving the format I'm looking forward to hearing where this goes, five stars!
