A Conversation With Marvyn Harrison
This week, we're joined by Marvyn Harrison, a businessman, author, broadcaster, podcaster and founder of the community platform Dope Black, which aims to improve the outcomes of Black people globally through education and therapy. He is also an avid music fan and has immersed himself in the culture for a number of years, working with the likes of Ghetts, Wretch 32, Drake, Cleo Sol and Ed Sheeran.
We chop it up with him about his journey and Dope Black, after a sprawling conversation about everything from Kendrick Lamar's jabs at Drake and J. Cole and the state of hip-hop to masculinity and reflecting the times we live in through music.

TikTok & Universal Music Group Are Beefing!
In the early months of 2024, TikTok and the world's biggest music conglomerate, Universal Music Group (UMG), have been at odds after UMG pulled the plug on their global licensing deal with the social media platform. This means that all music by all UMG artists have been removed from TikTok. A simmering beef has followed, with TikTok officially stating that UMG have "put their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters."
We had some thoughts about the the power dynamics UMG and labels in general have been able to accrue, and what this means for artists.
What did you think of the UMG-TikTok beef? Let us know in the comments.

Episode 99 - Apollo
In our last episode of 2023, we do what we always do at the end of the year - a round-up! We assess the year that was, choosing our favourite albums, rappers and producers.
We also name the rappers who surprised us the most, our most disappointing albums of the year and our favourite non-rap albums. We have enough time to make our predictions for 2024 and hear from you on what you think the new year will bring the genre of rap.
As always, we want to thank you for your continued support throughout 2023 - we’re truly grateful to every fan, listener and viewer.

Episode 98 - Hip-Hop Needs Me! (ft. Chris Mitchell from Breaking Atoms)
This week we're joined by award winning rapper, podcast producer and one half of the Breaking Atoms Podcast, Chris Mitchell.
We go back to 2018 to evaluate Nas' album Nasir, produced by Kanye West, and our thoughts on the project five years later.
Back in our fantasy booking bag, we imagine what hip-hop would look like if Busta Rhymes was a member of A Tribe Called Quest, and what the futures of both Busta and Tribe would be.
We wrap up by naming our favourite unreleased albums in hip-hop history. There's enough time for some Drake hate, wrestling references and more!
