Customer Reviews
Incredible Podcast
Sometimes the best part of my day. Funny, sometimes clinical, always insightful. 10/10
Finally a GOOD and INFORMED hip hop podcast
I’ve been listening to podcasts now for roughly four years now and although I’ve tried, I’ve never really been able to find a good hip hop based podcast. I’ve only been listening to this show for a few weeks now and I have to take a minute just to say how impressed I am. Both hosts seem very neutral and objective when it comes to artists and they always come INFORMED as well. The topics that they choose to talk about are always relevant and I can’t wait to see the show blow up. Good job guys!
If you haven’t listened yet now is the perfect time to...
If you’re an older millennial (in your 30’s) and grew up loving hip-hop and want to see what the kids are listening to this is the podcast for you. James and Jordan are two Toronto based DJs, among other things, who share their love and knowledge of all things hip-hop. What they do best is give deep dives into what is new and bubbling.
It can be hard to tell the difference between newer artists because my ears haven’t been trained. So what they do is tell you about the work give you a sample of it, and then leave it up to you to be the judge. What makes everything even better is they talk about the music they LOVE and you can tell it.
