| Ben Pedroche (Grown Up Rap) | 29 juil. 2025 | 00:28:59 | |
Note: this episode was recorded in May 2025. We're back like we left something ©️ Freeway! It's not that serious, but still. For our semi-grand return, we link up with Author and Journalist, Ben Pedroche, to talk about one of our favourite subjects: Indie Hip Hop. Ben's new book, Independent as Fuck: Underground Hip-Hop from 1995-2005, was released by Velocity Press in May 2025. The book looks back at this golden era, celebrating the most important artists, record labels, 12” records, and albums, along with the stories behind them, while also shining a light on those who have since been forgotten. We caught up with Ben to discuss how the book came together, his favourite indie labels and much more. Buy your copy of Independent As Fuck here.

| Kane Mayfield | 20 févr. 2025 | 02:08:23 | |
Kane Mayfield is a Hip Hop artist from the DC area who sells his music via Blockchain and has made multiple moves selling and making money in cryptocurrency. Chris had questions for him, and what happened was not planned. You're about to listen to a music conversation of epic proportions. This exchange is not for casual, surface listener fans. Then again, anyone who listens to this podcast likes music of a particular taste and standard. Kane and Chris geek out about Big Pun, Onyx, rhyme schemes, poetic devices, stealing Canibus bars, Ras Kass' humour, black sponge cake (whatever that is), UK Hip Hop, the greatness of Kyza Smirnoff, liner notes, mix tapes, and so much more. Rap Nerds... mount up. Connect with Breaking Atoms Follow Sumit Follow Chris Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| DJ Clark Kent | 16 janv. 2025 | 01:41:57 | |
For our first full episode of 2025, we're taking a detour. In June 2021, we released our first narrative series detailing Jay-Z's creation of 'Reasonable Doubt'. We did over 50+ interviews, and the last one we did for the series was with DJ Clark Kent. After his tragic passing in 2024, we've decided to share the FULL UNEDITED interview with you, which was a candid chat with one of Hip-Hop's most significant contributors and creatives. We sounded like amateurs because we were a little giddy when speaking to one of our Hip-Hop heroes. Across 90 minutes, God's Favourite DJ shares stories about Jay-Z, Jaz-O, Sauce Money, details of unreleased tracks from the 'Reasonable Doubt' sessions, classic albums, and more. To close, he shares why Hip-Hop culture needs to cultivate itself from within. Whatever you do, make sure you call him DJ CLARK KENT.

| Philmore Greene | 18 déc. 2024 | 01:03:36 | |
Chris is on a solo mission this week and links up with Chicago's own Philmore Greene! The conversation is rich, and you'd think Chris and Philmore have known each other for years. Philmore deep dives into the making of his new album, The Grand Design, working with Bruiser Wolf, his bond with Rashid Hadee and working with Apollo Brown and why King Von is a great storyteller. The convo gets really real when Chris and Philmore talk about generational trauma and why all Black men should consider accessing therapy. It's deeper than rap, as usual.

In the first episode of our new series, Elements, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.! You'll hear from those who were part of the album's creation—producers, engineers, and collaborators who helped craft its unique sound. We'll also bring you trusted voices from the community and people who lived the same experiences Biggie rapped about, offering a firsthand view into the world he depicted. And we'll hear from scholars who will deconstruct the social, political, intellectual, philosophical and psychological depths of Ready to Die. Special guests include:
Join us as we unpack the human experience through the lens of one of hip-hop's greatest storytellers. Special thanks to Dart Adams for linking us up with Prince Charles Alexander. Respect every time.

| Godfather Don | 13 août 2024 | 00:31:09 | |
You know the name, or at least you should. Check the credits. Godfather Don has worked with most of your favourites, including Kool Keith, Cormega and Screwball. His solo catalogue is exemplary, and his work on Hydra Entertainment is damn near mythical at this point. Veteran New York Emcee and Producer Godfather Don pulls up to the pod for a rare and exclusive interview. Don doesn't talk much, so we listened for the most part because nerdy details and unearthed gems were released at will. Before heading out with his saxophone to meet his jazz band for a session, Don opens up about Flatbush Hip-Hop history, how his writing style has evolved, and why he describes his creative process as "meat and potatoes". We also deep dive into the making of his brand new album Thesis (dropping on 30 August 2024!) and share some exclusive snippets from some of the album cuts - because we're connected like that. Respect to the HHV team for connecting the dots and creating an intricate plot. Pre-order the new Thesis album by Godfather Don at www.hhv.de: godfather-don.lnk.to/thesis Available in limited quantities on 4LP (incl. all instrumentals), 2LP (vocal tracks only), double cassette (incl. all instrumentals), 2CD (incl. all instrumentals) and digitally on all major platforms.

| Spanish Ran | 06 août 2024 | 00:40:44 | |
We're back with another exclusive interview, and this week's guest is a story of perseverance in Hip Hop culture. Spanish Ran is a producer from New York who came into the game on the humble, studied the greats and now calls those same greats, 'peers' and, in some cases, 'friends'. Ran shares his Hip Hop origin story, details his relationship with Lenny S, working as an A & R and bringing Rapsody and Westside Gunn to Roc Nation, working with Bloo Azul, Al-Doe and Tree Mason and the inspiration of the late, great MF DOOM. P.S. Ran's timekeeping is impeccable. He was early for his interview. We respect it. Connect with Breaking Atoms Follow Sumit Follow Chris Hosted on Acast.

Oh yeah, Shaquille O'Neal released some old new music by reissuing his third album, You Can't Stop The Reign, to streaming services.

| Our Favourite Rapper Aliases | 19 juin 2024 | 00:19:04 | |
Rappers love a nickname or alias—some more than others. A good alias can become just as renowned as the name on the album cover. Sumit and Chris talk about their favourite Rap aliases - from the appropriate to the silly - and they have some fun with it. By the way, that's Shock G on the cover because his Humpty Hump alias is mad. He rocked a plastic nose and became a whole new person. Please respect the ting. RIP.

| The Pop Out: A Preview To Kendrick Lamar's Big Show | 14 juin 2024 | 00:52:20 | |
On Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, Kendrick Lamar will grace the stage for The Pop Out, a one-off concert to be held at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. Considered a Juneteenth celebration, it will be K. Dot's first major performance after his highly publicised surgical execution of Canadian rapper Drake. Sumit and Chris have a bit of fun and imagine what the anticipated show will look and feel like. They discuss opening and closing tracks, deep cuts, guest appearances, special moments, and more. In typical fashion, they also go off on tangents praising the new Rapsody album, discussing Pete Rock's consistency, DJ Premier's 'evolving' sound, and a few other useless tidbits. As K. Dot so eloquently said, "sometimes you have to pop out"... you know the rest, and if you don't, it's your fault. Connect with Breaking Atoms Follow Sumit

| The Great Rap War Breakdown: Drake Vs Kendrick Lamar | 10 mai 2024 | 02:04:58 | |
A few weeks ago, we linked up to talk about the burgeoning Hip Hop triple-threat match that we all thought was about to go down with Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Well, a lot has happened since then. J. Cole said "Sorry, nah" and left Drake and Kendrick to it. Bwoy... it's been a mad couple of weeks. Diss records have been made, shows have been fired, egos bruised, tea spilt, business exposed, family members violated and sleep has been lost. We're here to break it down to the very last compound, from the songwriting, strategy, best lines and more. As much as we love the music, we also explore the cultural themes around culture, identity, appropriation and history that remained prevalent throughout what we think will go down as the best battle in Hip Hop history.

Royal Flush is one of our favourites; our listeners know this to be true. Last month, news broke that Royal Flush had been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. With that said, we wanted to make our love for Royal Flush even more known and do what we could to raise awareness about his situation and what we could do to help. The family of Royal Flush are asking for our support during this challenging time. Your donations will go directly towards Royal Flush's medical bills, ongoing treatments and other essential expenses. Click here to donate. Now go and play Ghetto Millionaire... LOUD!

| Sumit Meets Kishmeister (ITCH FM) | 19 oct. 2023 | 01:55:32 | |
On Sunday, 10th September 2023, our very own Sumit was invited to ITCH FM by Kishmeister to talk about some things with his entire chest. Sternum included. Sumit broke down his vital contributions to The Blog Era, work on this very podcast and much more. Kishmeister and ITCH FM have been very gracious and have allowed us to share the audio with you. Not only do you get to hear more details about Sumit's story, but you also get a better of his music tastes as he selects a few riddims for the playlist. This is an in-depth interview - strictly for live men, not for freshmen.
