| Ep.285 - #UKBHM 2024: MC Duke | 01 Oct 2024 | 01:01:40 | |
We begin our 2024 edition of our UK Black History Month series with one of UK Hip-Hop's earliest success stories in MC Duke who was the guy in the late 80s, culminating in two albums of varying quality and the American vocal inflections that was plaguing the early years of UK Hip-Hop. TIMESTAMPS:

| Ep.276 - Ja Rule | 30 Jul 2024 | 01:38:09 | |
The story of Ja Rule is one that can only be described as a contextual nightmare. Whilst we can boil it down to "He had hits then 50 took his soul" and call it a day, there's so much under that surface that deserves a look, including music that perfectly exemplifies how fucking weird the 00s were.

To finish our #UKBHM miniseries for another year, we look at an artist in Estelle with realised talent early on, a truly timeless song in her discography - but looking past that - has a truly fascinating discography and career arc that, at this moment in time, feels like a satisfying full circle.

Continuing our UKBHM celebrations with a retrospective on one of the most visceral storytellers and lyrical visualisers of the modern era. It took Ghetts 15 years of ups and downs to create his magnum opus but it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the unique road he travelled. TIMESTAMPS:

We continue our UKBHM celebrations with a retrospective on one of the most authentic voices in music: JME. Along with his brother Skepta, (who we covered last year) JME has become a blueprint for any independent artists that want to do it all with their own imprint. TIMESTAMPS:

Happy October and happy UK Black History Month one & all! This is the third time we're doing this but for those not in the know. To celebrate UKBHM, we do retrospectives of four black UK artists. To kick it off, we go to one of the first female duos, Cookie Crew. A duo that clearly had talent along with pretty good rolodex, but questionable decisions seemed to sour their outlook and make their career short lived. TIMESTAMPS:

| Ep.181 - Prompts, Vol. 1 | 27 Sep 2022 | 01:21:41 | |
This episode is a special one for a couple of reasons: 1st, it's our first live recording via Twitter Spaces. 2nd, it was to kick-start our new off-shoot: Prompts. Me, Ben and you guys talking around two specific prompts and letting the conversation go where it goes. The two Prompts: "What artist with a classic album, has the worst debut album?" and "Who is the best one-album artist?" TIMESTAMPS:

| Ep.180 - Main Source | 20 Sep 2022 | 01:16:13 | |
Even though Main Source only lasted officially for five years - with two albums dropped - they certainly made their imprint in Hip-Hop history within that half decade; most notably, the album "Breaking Atoms" & the track "Live At The Barbecue". TIMESTAMPS:

King Tee's legacy is an underrated one. A West Coast darling, respected by his peers that put on a fair share of artists; you'd think his music would be more known? Especially when it's great for the most part! So was it a case of his peers just making better music or something deeper? TIMESTAMPS:

It's time to explore the world of Hip-Hop in Australia and there's no better place to look than the most popular Hip-Hop act in Australia. Hilltop Hoods, a trio that needed a bank loan to fund their first album, to sold out tours and platinum plaques aplenty. But there's much more to see under the surface. Or... Maybe not. TIMESTAMPS:

If you were on a desert island and you had one artist's discography to spin, who would you pick? If you said your favourite artist, then sure. But think about a Shabazz Palaces where the music is so layered & diverse, you will be guaranteed to hear something different every time you spin. TIMESTAMPS:

If you ever need a story of resilience, look no further than the career arc of Camp Lo; who began with a classic debut, chose to go independent, have their work suffer because of it and at their lowest point, rise again with their best work since their debut. All in a space of 25+ years. TIMESTAMPS:

One of the most prolific names in Hip-Hop production, The Neptunes: Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo, could work with anybody in the mainstream and somehow make it a bop. They are responsible for birthing careers, revitalising careers and epitomise why the 00s were fucking weird. TIMESTAMPS:

Half the year has gone by. Time flies when you're having fun, but then we start thinking about social media and then get sad.

Anonymity in Hip-Hop Twitter, like everywhere on the Internet, is something worth putting thought over. Is it an issue to have anonymity for accounts that have genuine sway over Internet discourse?

On the 11th of April 2019, we began this little Hip-Hop centred Podcast. And whilst we have evolved from what we initially sought it to be, we have not missed a week since. For this anniversary special, we reflect on the three years, the past year, participate in a questionnaire so you guys can get to know us on a more personal level and we finish with a game we tried out last year with a great result: Deadpan Recital. Whether this is your first spin or 157th, we thank you. - Charlie. TIMESTAMPS:

You won't even find her name in the Wikipedia "list of people from Compton, California" even though she was one of the first females from the West Coast to be a rapper of note, pushing lyrics rooted in Womanism. And it's because of these facts and more that we cover the likes of Yo-Yo. TIMESTAMPS:

The story of Lil' Kim is one of the most rinsed in Hip-Hop history. But somehow, there is always something to discover when it comes to the story of Kim and especially when it comes to her music. TIMESTAMPS:

| Ep.152 - Women's History Month '22 - The Real Roxanne | 08 Mar 2022 | 01:11:12 | |
The story of The Real Roxanne is forever attached to the subject of the last episode, but for someone that was brought into a beef of somebody's design, we got two very good albums out of it. And that alone deserves it's own dive. TIMESTAMPS:

| Ep.151 - Women's History Month '22 - Roxanne Shanté | 01 Mar 2022 | 01:29:24 | |
The career and life of Roxanne Shanté is a microcosm of being a female. You're talented, you're confident and you get punished for it every step of the way. For the first of five retrospectives on females in Hip-Hop during Women's History Month, we look at Shanté, the first woman in Hip-Hop to pop off. TIMESTAMPS:

| Ep.150 - Clipse | 22 Feb 2022 | 01:33:59 | |
Virginia Beach-based brother duo Clipse, No Malice & Pusha T were a significant piece of the small-but-influential alumni of Hip-Hop artists based in the state of Virginia. Tying themselves to The Neptunes, Clipse became a 2000s essential to look out for.

| Ep.149 - Method Man: The Book Of Wu - Chapter 4 | 15 Feb 2022 | 01:29:33 | |
Method Man is a unique being. Where people zigged, Method Man zagged. He did things differently and made the most out of every opportunity given. And while his music isn't consistently on the level Method Man is as a lyricist and person, it's an interesting cog in the overall watch that is Wu-Tang history. TIMESTAMPS: Thanks for listening.

| Ep.147 - Eazy-E | 01 Feb 2022 | 01:31:14 | |
Eric "Eazy-E" Wright was a shrewd operator in everything he did. And though we may not think of him as an early leader in the inevitable evolution of business in Hip-Hop, maybe it's worth seeing Eazy in that lens, although it's very enticing to see his iconic persona and stop there.

| Ep.146 - Xzibit | 25 Jan 2022 | 01:31:42 | |
It is very easy to see Xzibit as the "Pimp My Ride" guy. But look past the glorious relic of 00s America and you find a rapper that could hang with the best of them, tooled up with top tier lyrics and an unmistakable voice.
