Extraordinary

I love the interviews, the content, the guest, the vibe, everything. I would have given this 5 stars but there’s just 1 thing I don’t love and it’s the cohost. She throws the vibe or the conversation off a lot to me. Seriously this podcast is definitely in the top 5 for me. The research and effort put into interviews is beautiful.

Well worth the price of admission

The interview with Havoc from Mobb Deep made me need to leave a review. Talib guides the conversation like only someone can who has the deepest knowledge, respect, and love for their guests. As a listener you don’t even need to be familiar with the guests to be inspired. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to learn about music.
