Ben Pedroche (Grown Up Rap)
Note: this episode was recorded in May 2025.
We're back like we left something ©️ Freeway!
It's not that serious, but still. For our semi-grand return, we link up with Author and Journalist, Ben Pedroche, to talk about one of our favourite subjects: Indie Hip Hop. Ben's new book, Independent as Fuck: Underground Hip-Hop from 1995-2005, was released by Velocity Press in May 2025. The book looks back at this golden era, celebrating the most important artists, record labels, 12” records, and albums, along with the stories behind them, while also shining a light on those who have since been forgotten.
We caught up with Ben to discuss how the book came together, his favourite indie labels and much more.
