Loweski ,

A must have for any hip hop fan

Take it personal is one of the best hip hop podcasts on the planet. It reminds me of the college radio shows I grew up listening to religiously. The music selection is AMAZING, surprising and always bumping. The Mixing is impeccible and makes you rewind just to hear the beat blends. Best of all, it is clear that these guys are doing this out of pure love for the music. A MUST LISTEN for any hip hop fan.
