We love all sub-genres of this beautiful type of music, but our focus is on lyrical rap which includes boombap, where sharp lyrics, intricate flows, hard punchlines matter, not just the 'vibes' and beat. We discuss hip hop music, culture, current and past events, hot takes, from USA, in Kenya (where we're based), the UK, Africa and globally. Tune in, Rap Saved Me!🔥✊🏾

    Intro: Why We Fell in Love with Hip Hop | Episode 1

    Welcome to the first episode of the Lyricism Flow Podcast! Hosted by Javan Ekhalie (DJ Javo) and Benson Otieno Odao (B-ZY), this episode dives deep into the true essence of hip-hop culture. We are building a platform dedicated to the art of the genre, focusing on technical rap techniques, lyrical density, and the cultural shifts driven by the music. In this premiere episode, we explore our rap origin stories and discuss why hip-hop is far more than just violent or ignorant music—it is a socially conscious art form rooted in storytelling and poetry. We also tackle the ultimate debates: breaking down our current top five favorite rappers versus the greatest of all time (GOATs). From analyzing the technical superiority of Biggie compared to the cultural impact of Tupac, to debating whether Kendrick Lamar is ready for the number one spot, no topic is off limits. Finally, we break down the primary subgenres of hip-hop, including boom bap, trap, and abstract rap, and discuss why underground hip-hop is currently thriving. Watch, listen, and let us know your top five rappers in the comments below! Don't forget to like, share, subscribe on YouTube, and follow us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts with a five-star rating.
