Customer Reviews
Love this show
My Man Nametg host a great show . He has great guest and very imformative and insightful .
Great Concept!
First of all, I love music and I can tell that they do too. They have a passion for it and it comes out in each episode. Getting the perspective of an artist and producer/DJ that are both passionate about their craft is comforting since commercial hip hop nowadays is so manufactered.
Keep up the good work
Dope show keep it up bro
