    For our inaugural episode of The Spin, rap pioneer Squadda B joins us to discuss the albums that have been most impactful and memorable across his storied musical career. Formerly one half of the dynamic rap duo Main Attrakionz, the beginning of Squadda B's career was placed firmly between the waning sounds of the early 2000's and the rising cacophonies of rap's induction to the realm of the Internet.

Join us for a fascinating conversation regarding this era and the scores of others that have defined the tastes of one of hip-hop's legends.Albums Mentioned and Spotify Links:Squadda B — Third ShiftSquadda B — The Wonderful World of Squadda BChuckii Booker — Niice ’N WiildAMG — Bitch Betta Have My MoneyLauryn Hill — The Miseducation of Lauryn HillJay-Z — Vol. 2… Hard Knock LifeBusta Rhymes — E.L.E.
