“This was such a well researched, heartbreaking podcast that tells the story of one man’s life in the back drop of a history lesson on the origins of hip hop.”

“It’s a shame that Eric had to bad mouth others he worked with to get sympathy, instead of acting like an adult. The audience is left worse off because of his childish behaviour.”

“This podcast is as close as you’ll find to a Hip-Hop version of Slow Burn, which I also love. AND THE MUSIC IS BANGIN’! Takes me back yo... keep up the good work and keep it coming...”

“S1 was amazing and engaging from start to finish. Best part of S2 was the tribute to Reggie (Rest in Power). S2 is not captivating in any way and I get disappointed when the only podcast left in my feed is Mogul. Makes me super sad to feel this way since S1 was probably one of the best podcasts...”Read full review »

“The storytelling is the best. I can't wait to listen to every episode. So engaging and both seasons are amazing.

“I’m gonna be honest, I heard the title in an ad and something about hip hop and started listening. I didn’t know anything about Chris or that it was even a biography, and I’m not a huge fan of old school hip hop. Even still, I was intrigued- and finished all of S1. With unexpected facts, guests...”Read full review »

“This is the first podcast that I’ve listened to in a while that wasn’t some sort of true crime story. I grew up listening to these artists without knowing how they became famous. I was hooked from the first 10 mins. And the fun part is listening and reminiscing to all the classics.”

“I just finished season 1 and it’s all so interesting. Lighty was an extremely flawed guy. He was great in what he did but also awful when it came to hitting his wife. But never the less his story was amazing and he touched so many people.
The podcast is very well done. Kudos”

The production, writing and presentation of the show is extremely good. Music is fly (both the subject music...”Read full review »

A MUST LISTEN for anyone who enjoys hip hop and music history.
I was too young to remember 2LC’s media attention in the 80’s & 90’s. I really enjoyed listening to the in-depth look at the group’s story, their...”Read full review »

“I devoured every Mogul episode (some multiple times) as it came it in 2017. Reggie’s storytelling and compassion, especially his handling of DV, stood out and moved me. So much so, that I emailed him to tell him that - two years ago to the day of episode, July 31, 2017. He was kind enough to...”Read full review »
