    Take It Personal (Ep 195: New Music '26)

    For our 17th episode of 2026, we’re doing something we rarely do on TIP: play new music. This is our first new music episode since January, and we’ve got some catching up to do.   We put together a bunch of ’26 bangers that represent what we’ve been feeling this year. The goal of these shows is to expose us dinosaurs to good music being made today—and there’s a lot of it. As we get older, our tastes change, our listening habits change, and the time we have to keep our ears to the street isn’t what it used to be.   So we do the heavy lifting, and hopefully you walk away with some new tracks for your playlist.   We’ve got music from Czarface, AZ, Benny The Butcher, Bruiser Wolf, MC Eiht, Rome Streetz, Mathematics, Tash, The Game, Open Mike Eagle, Natural Elements, Tierra Whack, 38 Spesh, Hus Kingpin, Apollo Brown & Skyzoo and much more.   Plus, we debut our first live HipHopTrivia.com game with host Quest. At the break, the crew battles it out while you play along at home.   We’ve also teamed up with Coalmine Records for giveaways all fall long, so listen for details on how to enter and leave your comment below!   Get ready. This is our New Music Episode.   Take It Personal Radio—where hip-hop lives, legends are honored, and the music always speaks louder than words.   📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠@takeitpersonalradio⁠⁠ 🛒Store: ⁠⁠takeitpersonalradio-shop.fourthwall.com (NEW MERCH DROP) 💖 Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠⁠  🎧 Listen on:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts / iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pandora⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeartRadio⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Player FM⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Vevo YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠

    Take It Personal (Ep 194: Fall Classic)

    Our Fall Classic is here. Episode 194 is our Timz ’n’ Hood Chek episode. The times they are a-changin’. Cool mornings, crisp nights and leaves changing colors. Football Sundays, October baseball and some hot soup, muthafucka, like Clarence Williams III wanted in that one Attica movie.   Speaking of movies, Halloween raised us many of us. Those Thanksgiving plates and driving with the windows cracked just enough to feel that chill. Every season needs a soundtrack.   We’ve got Group Home, Das EFX, Big L, Miilkbone, Lord Finesse, The Fab 5, Tragedy, Bahamadia, Redman and M.O.P. to help set the mood.   Throw on a flannel, turn it up (or light it up) and watch the original heads come out to play. This is our Fall Classic.   Take It Personal Radio—where hip-hop lives, legends are honored, and the music always speaks louder than words.   📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠@takeitpersonalradio⁠⁠ 🛒Store: ⁠⁠takeitpersonalradio-shop.fourthwall.com (NEW MERCH DROP) 💖 Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠⁠  🎧 Listen on:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts / iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pandora⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeartRadio⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Player FM⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Vevo YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠

    Take It Personal - Deadly Threat Interview

    Over the last 10 years, we’ve interviewed some of the biggest names in hip-hop. Some of our favorite rappers, some of your favorite rappers and plenty of people in between. Rappers, producers, record label executives and even media personalities. But Take It Personal has never just been about playing the records you already know. Anybody can play the f*****g hits. We want to remind you why those records mattered, introduce you to the ones you might have missed and give you the stories and context behind the music. Because sometimes knowing the story can make a record sound completely different. Sometimes the lesson comes from a classroom. Sometimes it comes through your speakers. So after 10 years, we wanted to do something a little different. COLD CASE FILES: The Stories You Never Heard. We’re still chopping it up with guests, but this time we’re putting the spotlight on people who might not have gotten enough of it the first time around. The names you remember but don’t know enough about. The records you know, but not always the stories behind them. The people who helped build this culture without always getting the attention, credit or flowers they deserved. More eyeballs. More ears. More attention. More flowers while they’re still here to receive them. Our first Cold Case File: Deadly Threat. We get into: • His East Coast influence • Rakim & Kurupt • Growing up with DJ Pooh & Bobcat • Breaking with the Wild Style Crew • The origins of the Likwit Crew • Befriending Ice Cube during his Above the Law beef • Debuting on Color Blind and how the record came together • Working with King Tee and being around Tha Triflin’ Album and 21 & Over • Writing for 2Pac, Eazy-E & Yo-Yo • The St. Ides commercial • Touring with then-labelmates Edo G & Black Sheep • Walking from the Bronx to Brooklyn with Edo G just to get some weed • The Friday soundtrack • The story behind NY ’87 • Working with Dr. Dre • Breaking down Sickinnahead • The Mack 10 origin story — when he was still the rappers’ barber • Bumping into LL Cool J at Sylvia’s • Jumping on Nas’ Where Are They Now remix • The 300–400 unreleased Deadly Threat songs sitting in the vault • RC cars • His 10,000+ sports card collection Cold Case Files. The Stories You Never Heard.
