Hit-Boy and Nipsey Hussle - Racks In the Middle (feat. Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy)

Hit-Boy is an award-winning producer and rapper from LA. He’s one of my all-time favorite producers, from “Backseat Freestyle” by Kendrick Lamar, to “Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott, to tracks he’s made for Beyonce, Nas, and the Jay-Z & Kanye album Watch the Throne. So I was really excited to talk to him, and when I asked him which song from his incredible catalog he wanted to talk about, I was really moved by his choice. He picked “Racks in the Middle” by Nipsey Hussle, featuring Roddy Ricch. Nipsey Hussle was a rapper and community activist from LA whose career was cut short, tragically, when he was murdered in 2019. He’d released just one album, Victory Lap. “Racks in the Middle” was the last song released in Nipsey’s lifetime. It went platinum, and a year after his death, it won the Grammy for Best Rap Performance, in 2020. This episode features a few short clips from a video that Nipsey Hussle made for the website Genius, back in 2019. There’s a link to the full video that he made in the shownotes. But here in the studio, to tell the story, I spoke to Hit-Boy about how “Racks in the Middle” came together. To learn more, visit songexploder.net/hit-boy.

Michael Sweet, Jeff Keith/Miljenko Matijević & Josh Freese

This loaded episode of The Eddie Trunk Podcast starts with Stryper frontman Michael Sweet joining Eddie Trunk to discuss his recent thyroid cancer diagnosis and upcoming surgery. Sweet talks about Stryper's first-ever Christmas album 'The Greatest Gift of All,' featuring five traditional songs and five originals and also reveals details about the band's upcoming 18th studio album, a solo project with a vintage sound, and the long-awaited Stryper documentary. Then, it's Tesla frontman Jeff Keith and Steelheart vocalist Miljenko 'Millie' Matijevic joining Eddie to premiere their new collaboration covering Foghat's version of 'I Just Want to Make Love to You.' The pair share how their friendship blossomed on the Monsters of Rock Cruise five years ago over champagne and cigars, leading to this spontaneous project. After that, legendary drummer Josh Freese joins Eddie Trunk to discuss his latest creative project 'Just a Minute, Volume Two,' an album featuring 25 songs that each last only 60 seconds. Freese explains how the concept began during the pandemic as a fun creative outlet with no commercial intentions before Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam encouraged him to release it. The conversation reveals Freese's impressive career spanning punk, rock, and pop - from playing with Nine Inch Nails and Guns N' Roses to Weezer and Avril Lavigne.
