First of all, I’m not a smart man. Took me wayyy too long to figure out how to rate a podcast. But wanted to make the effort because this show is a certified banger and even songs that may not interest you, you’ll be wowed. I’d suggest following them on TikTok as well

This has been so fun to listen to. My music game has leveled up. How about the band Redbone and their song “ Come and Get Your Love” ? I’d like to learn about that :-)

Amazing show- I love digging into the minutiae of the history and trivia about music history, but Diallo & Luxxury go WAAAAY deeper & dissect tracks to reveal things you never knew were in there. Discovering lots of new music here, and discovering new things about the music I already...Read full review »

Great show for everyone from novice music lovers to professional music nerds. Both guys are funny and super thoughtful, definitely recommended!

I’m a musician, songwriter and indie producer. This podcast is nearly perfect because i nerd out on the type of details you gents share. Both of you are cultured and smart. However, I often can’t listen to an entire episode or at least back to back. I’m very challenged by how excessively Dialo...Read full review »

When can you say that? It’s fun to learn the histories of the songs Diallo and Luxxury choose each week. And they always provide interesting details about the song, artists, and culture. If you’re a fan of music, this is the podcast for you.

Saw this as reels on IG, which being 30sec to a minute or so seemed fun. However an hour length podcast doesn’t seem to work with weird tangents and off topic quips. You end up with about 10 minutes of BTS of the song and 50 minutes of fluff. Also, knowing a thing or 2 about Metallica, the MoP...Read full review »

I love music and have always enjoyed breakdowns of music, especially the sample origin stories. This show goes even further into the history/origin story of the band, influences on other songs, etc. One suggestion guys: Play the song in full at the end of the episode. I have most of these tunes...Read full review »

Kart12 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/20/24
Love the whole concept of this podcast, taking a singular song, giving us backstory on the artist and what led them to said song, and completely dissecting it. Just finished listening to the De La Soul Buddy episode. I think it’s my favorite episode to date. I will like to correct Diallo on...Read full review »

My fave podcast! Love all the background info and how they break a sound down to its very essence. So entertaining, I’ll listen no matter What song they’re deciphering. It’s ALL good!
BerTramp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/24
LuXXury and Diallo take one song each week and explain the backstory and artist influences. Then, LuXXury shares the song stems (individually-tracked instruments) and digs into the music and vocals themselves. It’s a great show. YOU WILL LEARN THINGS!

The former music theory student in me loves it. Very accessible while maintaining nuance. I learn so much and I love the conversational style.
avanth_garde via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/24
Diallo and Luxxury know how to squeeze all of the most interesting bits of juice and pulp from well loved songs and artists you might think you know everything about. It’s hard not to DM them after with 101 more songs you want them to talk about next! Diallo’s metal journey on the Metallica...Read full review »

An amazing podcast and one song that would be amazing is notion by the rare occasions
RacerBroYT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/24
This podcast is definitely a must for lovers of music. I just came across this podcast and simply just enjoy the enthusiasm and knowledge Diallo and Luxxury put into each episode. I absolutely love hearing the isolation of each instrument and vocals that has contributed to make any of the songs...Read full review »

The wonky editing really irks me! its hard to ignore and it’s such a disservice to the amazing content!

“Who brings acid to a business meeting!” 😂 I love this podcast!
Dani Parks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/24
Just the right amount of nerdy facts and great insights.

Love this show, y’all. I’m wondering if we can unpack Aaliya’s “Are You That Somebody?”
NatAllica420 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/24
This is a really great podcast for music nerds and newbies a like! Even for songs that you may not know, the excitement from Dialo and Luxxury about music is contagious and you could learn to love a know genre. For songs you could be sick of you’ll get to hear in a completely new way usually. I...Read full review »

It is a great podcast to send you down a rabbit hole of new music. I love how listening to the “stems” of a loved song show me how it is crafted, not to pull it apart, but to give context. I appreciate the song even more after the episode.
Sharphelm via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/28/24
I’ve been DJing as long as both of these guys, and listening to them riff on each song is like hanging with a homey and nerding out over music. Their Daft Punk episode is my favorite so far, and when Luxxury plays the samples at the end it’s next level aficionado that only true DJs do. This has...Read full review »

I love this podcast. I’ve been looking for a great music podcast like this. Song Exploder is good but I haven’t heard of so many of the tracks. I hope you touch Depeche Mode soon and a-ha as well! My only wish is that I wish i was longer! But the show is super-economical with nothing wasted....Read full review »

I freakin’ love this show! I love Diallo and Luxxury is my musical soulmate. Nerding out and deconstructing samples as well as traditional instrumental parts is bliss to me!
Johnny Crush via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
I could be late since I’m a new listener, but here are a few ideas for songs to break down Slum Village - Get Dis Money Gangstarr - What I’m here 4 People under the Stairs - Keep it Alive Simeon Mobile Disco - I Believe Love what you guys do! Thank you!
Minkis Dinkis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
This is the podcast that I recommend to literally anyone who will listen to me. If you want to get under the cover of some of the greatest songs of all time and disappear down an aural rabbit hole for a little while, then you’ve come to the right place. Diallo and Luxxury are your guys.
mistersnappy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/21/24
Just my kind of fun, thoughtful analysis with two sharp minds and the level of depth most shows gloss over, pure delight, could say on loop forever, you lads are class!!!
Ian Lysaght via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 03/21/24
I was loving everything about this pod but with this episode, I now fully understand the few negative reviews. One of the biggest rules of any historical research is that you don’t interject your personal opinions into your research unless it is backed by historical evidence. Diallo...Read full review »

I’ve caught some clips of One Song on Reels and was struck by the deeper knowledge of the modern history of music as it unfolds. It led me to seek out the actual podcast and it was an enjoyable listen that pushed me down a rabbit hole of new (to me) old music and new new music. I used to find new...Read full review »

Such a fun show! Endlessly impressed with Diallo and Luxxury’s encyclopedic musical knowledge. Love getting a deeper understanding of music and great songs.
PugMad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
Love this pod, they talk about the music you actually want to hear vs the top 40 that aren’t really that interesting. Thanks guys.
crisf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/24
Such a great find, my new fav podcast! I’m someone who is not a musician but loves deep dives into music. The way you place the tracks and artists into their socio cultural time and place is brilliant. Even the tracks that aren’t on my playlist are a great listen. There’s a long list of artists...Read full review »

Love to nerd-out with these guys and go deep deep into these songs! And I learn so much!
Knoel26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/24
This podcast is just a rip off of a show done by a man who used to work for SXM. The Session by Christian James Hand.
Ozzy607 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/24
Blatant ripoff of the amazing work that Christian James Hand had been doing on the radio for years not to mention how he provided even more entertainment for music lovers during co-vid lockdown. This show rightfully belongs to CJH.

Yep
I love this podcast. They’ve all been bangers except for Doja Cat episode.
Burrlover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
Just found this podcast, can’t stop listening! So amazing to hear about these songs and how and why and what about songs. Love the Master of Puppets episode.
owinch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
I just started listening a few days ago and I am hooked! Love learning all these little details about these songs. Definitely makes me appreciate music even more.

Dissecting music tracks by two self confessed music nerds? OK that may not sound like the most universally popular format but when those two hosts are, warm, self effacing, knowledgable and generous with their love of the craft, it’s wonderful. Try out the Missy Elliott, Sister Nancy and...Read full review »

Guys, I absolutely LOVE your breakdowns. Just saw U2 at the Sphere which was AMAZING. Can you please apply your skill and knowledge to one of their (many) incredible tracks?? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I enjoy the laid approach to this podcast. You always learn something new but it’s never pretentious. Keep it coming!
woodlandsmama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
Absolutely loving this - it’s interesting & entertaining. Really refreshing to see folks recognise the importance of sampling and *Luxxury Voice* ~interpolation~ in music making. There’s so much respect shown to artists across the board whether it’s the OG artist from a stem or acknowledging...Read full review »

I just listened to both episodes with Jimmy Jam. I enjoyed both episodes. But I was extremely frustrated with the way BOTH hosts kept cutting him off.
