The list of legends who have passed through on the show gets even longer. This week, we're joined by the legendary A & R, Dante Ross! If you don't know who he is, check the credits. De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Brand Nubian, Leaders Of The New School, Busta Rhymes, KMD, MF DOOM, Everlast, Carlos Santana and many more. During his quick trip to London, we discussed his new business moves, relaunching Stimulated Music, his love of the UK music scene and why A & R now stands for 'analytics and research'. Stand up and recognise a real don when you hear one.

This week, Sumit and Chris review (kinda) the soundtrack for The Book of Clarence, directed by Jeymes Samuel. The hosts don't even know what the movie is about because it's out this coming Friday, but they love soundtracks.
The duo thoroughly discusses Jay-Z and D'Angelo FINALLY collaborating for the soundtrack for a 10-minute madness. You can also expect a candid chinwag about the importance of soundtracks to the film viewing experience, and Sumit and Chris end by highlighting some of their favourite soundtracks.

We're big fans of Little Brother over here - as musicians, as people... we love what Little Brother brought to the table and brings to our lives to this day.

We discuss the production, the narrative, the guests, the likes, the loves and the tea. We also reflect on how the Little Brother story has impacted our partnership on this podcast.

Everybody seckle! For our first episode of 2024, we head straight to Brooklyn, New York, to talk to two of the architects of the Bucktown sound. Mr. Walt and Evil Dee are coming to you directly from the house where they produced their seminal work for Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, Finsta Bundy, KRS-ONE and more. The Dewgarde brothers share the inspiration behind their upcoming album, Stifled Creativity and talk us through their early record store adventures, production credits, memories from recording their Brace 4 Impak project and more. Funkmaster Flex-level bombs are dropped when the duo reveal why their stint on Rawkus Records didn't work out. Politics of the business indeed. Happy New Year to all our listeners, and we wish you all a happy, healthy and productive 2024!

2 January 2024, 6:00 am - 20 minutes 21 secondsDK
A couple of years ago, we discovered the work and sound of DK, a dope producer fresh out of Canada. He's since become a friend and supporter of the show, and it's only fitting that we pass the mic over to him so he can share more of his come-up story.
DK recently dropped his Atlantic Vol. 1 compilation, entirely produced by him, with features from Rasheed Chappell, Cesar Comanche, Carlitta Durand, UFO Fev, Wais P and Ras Kass. Of course, we wanted to know more, so we got into it.

Royal Flush is one of our favourites; our listeners know this to be true. Last month, news broke that Royal Flush had been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer.

The family of Royal Flush are asking for our support during this challenging time. Your donations will go directly towards Royal Flush's medical bills, ongoing treatments and other essential expenses. Click here to donate.
