The Sopranos Vs The Wire

In the very first episode of ‘Breaking Atoms’, you have the pleasure of a ringside seat as our hosts engage in a head-to-head battle for TV supremacy. In the red corner, we have made man Sumit representing ‘The Sopranos’ and in the blue corner, we have Chris; live and direct from the towers waving the flag for 'The Wire’. They deep dive into what makes each show great and how both shows explore themes such as family, violence, feminism, hyper-masculinity, homosexuality and much more. It’s not all serious convo though. There are lots of laughs to be had as they pick characters from their favourite respective show for a fantasy five a side football face off. Would Tony Soprano beat the brakes off Avon Barksdale in a fistfight? Can Stringer Bell easily outsmart the likes of Christopher Moltisanti with a swift Jedi mind trick? These are the questions...

Ras Kass

On the 24th anniversary of the classic "Soul On Ice" album, we linked up with Ras Kass for a very revealing conversation. The Waterproof MC talks about working with DJ Premier, Dr Dre and his close relationship with Jay-Z. He also lives up to his fearless reputation and tells it how it is when it comes to the music business, corporate greed and what McDonald's does with its leftover food. This is the nature of the threat in podcast form. Pre-order Ras Kass' new project, "I'm Not Clearing Shxt" here: http://blackhouseinc.storenvy.com/products/30943819-ras-kass-im-not-clearing-shxt-lp-cd Hosted on Acast.
