And now for something completely different. Not exactly a new episode of Catch The Show or The Underground Monster. I've been hinting for a while now of changes to come & here's one of the major ones: I have a new Hyphen Podcast Group show coming soon with my best friend Kayci called "$H!T, Not Another Music Podcast with Eric & Kayci".  This episode is a cut up of our conversation about the show & how things would go. We talk about how music has affected our lives (especially...

What happens when musicians take advantage and manipulate their young fans into uncomfortable positions or relationships? This episode I address the recent allegations of sexual misconduct made against several members of different bands within the modern pop-punk to post hardcore scene (i.e. Issues, Pierce The Veil, etc.).  Things are changing around these here parts of The Underground Monster. Soon you'll see. But in the meantime, hear me also rant about a certain clown rap group and their...

I could've named this episode "Why is Tech N9ne still promoting a show after cancelling a tour?" or "Why is Strange Music holding this artist hostage in their contract?", but I didn't wanna aim another show at Strange again. So I opted for something else until I saw some unfortunate news midway through the recording that just threw me off completely. So...I don't know. Enjoy the episode though. RIP DJ Shay, Riley Gale & Chadwick Boseman. #JusticeForJacobBlake If you wanna donate or...

BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM! We're back on track with things & it's thanks to our special guest this week: one of HPG's very own podcast pros & one of the hosts of "It's Like A Podcast or Whatever", Mr. Errick Greenlee AKA Handsome Bane. Who drops in to tell  us about the time he saw Cece Peniston in concert & revel in early 90's nostalgia.

Then we gotta talk about the load of gold Monoxide of Twiztid dropped about upcoming new Twiztid & Majik Ninja Entertainment music. But the...

Well this week is kind of a setback & a return to form at the same time. I'm not able to continue the Best Concerts Series for this week due to circumstances out of my control. But with BET currently airing No Limit Chronicles, I figured this is a good time to jump back into "The Catch-Up" series I was doing on No Limit's incredible run of albums in 1998 by reviewing Fiend's "There's One In Every Family". Instead of talking "best concerts", I go the opposite route & rank my top 10...

Straightforward episode this week since it's been a slow couple of news weeks lately. I spend most of the episode talking about new music that's dropped, upcoming albums, briefly speculate if G-Mo Skee is still signed to MNE & then question why Tech N9ne is doing a concert next Saturday which leads to the QOTW being asked when, how & if we'll ever possibly be able to have concerts normally again.

As stated last episode: While I work on some technical issues, I've called on the help of my HPG fam to takeover the show each week and share their best concert experiences. This week, not only do I have man behind HPG himself, Kelen "B-Hyphen" Conley, but I also have a relic from his podcast past. Before there ever was a Hyphen Podcast Group or Catch The Show, there was Tricycle Offense & Hip Hop Manifesto. There was a memorable episode of Hip Hop Manifesto where Kelen & his...

After I get through about 20 minutes of catching up on new music that dropped in the last 2 weeks, we got some stuff to talk about. New projects OTW from LSP, Sadistik & City Morgue. Majik Ninja Entertainment signs a new artist to their Welcome To The Underground subsidiary. Then I rant about this whole "redemption arc" the media has taken with ICP lately. But the center of this episode focuses on the recent sexual assault & abuse allegations made against several artist part of the...

With what's going on in the world & the foreseeable future looking unknown, this show is gonna have to make some changes. But it's gonna take me a while to make those changes. But I also refuse to stop! So in the meantime, I've enlisted the help of my HPG fam for a series of episodes where they will share with you their most memorable concert experiences. This episode has a brief tale of Melysette's (of A Frightful Fret With Melysette) time seeing a certain "purple legend" & friend of...

I run past the topics & new music this week (we'll talk about those next ep) so I could give my personal take on a somewhat controversial list that made the rounds with juggalos over the last week or so. Instead of talking about said list, I knew I could do a better job. And honestly, I feel I did do a better job at highlighting the emcees that have really held down & defined the subgenre that is "horrorcore rap". So prepare to get triggered as I do MY top 15 horrorcore artists of all...

Catch The Show is (kinda) back. Still no shows to review of course, but HPG regular & friend of the show, Marcus Robinson, returns for the third time to discuss with me one of the most polarizing artists of the last decade: Tyler, The Creator.

A lot of new music dropped, so I spend the first half of the episode giving my thoughts on some of the recent releases I've heard over the past 2 weeks. I also question why Tech N9ne postponed his tour with new cities, mention artists who have unfortunately been affected by COVID-19 (RIP Fred The Godson), upcoming new music, Grey 59's newest signing & the good press ICP has recently been getting...which somehow lead me into a rant about "if juggalos are taken seriously or not and why?"....
