Desmond Powell was the kid with the grandest NBA dreams and in 2017 he developed a similar obsession with Hip-Hop. Born in '98 with a soul that seems older, he knew basketball and Hip-Hop have went hand-in-hand for years, but realized that there has never been a platform that combined both simultaneously, so he decided to create it. With its name inspired by the famous Lord Finesse song, this podcast is for you: the basketball junkie AND Hip-Hop head. The goal is simple: Desmond wants you to remember why you loved both in the first place and more importantly, realize that Hip 2 Da Games is not just a podcast, it's a lifestyle.

    When Hip-Hop Lyrics From the Past Hit Different in the Present...

    Desmond takes the transparent route for today's episode as he uses four sets of lyrics to vent and express the ways each sequence has resonated with him recently as opposed to when he heard them for the first time. With a more raw and unpolished delivery, Dez reflects on lyrics from Nipsey Hussle, J. Cole, and Eminem; artists who have managed to perfectly summarize the feelings Desmond is now experiencing as an adult pursuing various dreams and passions. While this is a different episode compared to what is expected on H2DG, Desmond lets you in on the side of podcasting and life that often goes under the radar.
