DJ Clark Kent

For our first full episode of 2025, we're taking a detour. In June 2021, we released our first narrative series detailing Jay-Z's creation of 'Reasonable Doubt'. We did over 50+ interviews, and the last one we did for the series was with DJ Clark Kent. After his tragic passing in 2024, we've decided to share the FULL UNEDITED interview with you, which was a candid chat with one of Hip-Hop's most significant contributors and creatives. We sounded like amateurs because we were a little giddy when speaking to one of our Hip-Hop heroes. Across 90 minutes, God's Favourite DJ shares stories about Jay-Z, Jaz-O, Sauce Money, details of unreleased tracks from the 'Reasonable Doubt' sessions, classic albums, and more. To close, he shares why Hip-Hop culture needs to cultivate itself from within. Whatever you do, make sure you call him DJ CLARK KENT.

4th Disciple

Believe it or not, when it comes to the Wu-Tang sound, RZA had a few trusted chefs with him in the kitchen. For this episode, we are joined by the 4th Disciple, who fills in the gaps on some key Shaolin history. From hearing early Wu demos to developing the Killarmy sound, Breaking Atoms show gratitude to one of the greatest producers of all time.
