The Juice Crew were clicking and touring as a unit.  Marley Marl was now focusing on his own album and wanted Kane and G. Rap to be on a track together.  But when Marley suggested an unknown Masta Ace join the song, tension got thick.  Reluctantly the song got recorded and ended up becoming "The Symphony", one of the greatest posse cuts in history.  Kane also reflects on the Juice Crew/BDP wars and how his relationship with both MC Shan and KRS-ONE made him sit that one out...sort of.  Then he finds himself in a battle that was more fabricated than reality.  Fueled by fans, the Kane vs Rakim rumors was something everyone wanted to see, but something that wasn't being talked about behind the scenes. Additional commentary by Masta Ace, Mister Cee, Cutmaster Cool V and Steve Brown

S2: MF DOOM, Part 13 - Eulogy

In this episode we speak with Tom Brown, head of Lex Records in London. MF Doom signed with Lex Records in 2003, where he released four incredible albums, which included collaborations with Danger Mouse, J Dilla, Bishop Nehru, Janeiro Jarel, Ghostface Killah and Thom Yorke. Tom was the man at the helm at Lex and worked closely with Doom all the years he was there, although it took a while for them to actually meet face to face. He reflects fondly on the ups and downs, as well as, the opportunity to not only have worked with him for many years, but also of the bond they shared.

S2: MF DOOM, Part 12 - Lex Records, London

In this episode we chat with Young Guru, the award winning engineer and hip hop historian, as well as award winning producer Just Blaze. Both of them open up about their time at Baseline Studios which was the home recording studio for all things Roc-A-Fella Records. They reveal how the reception area at Baseline Studios became the true indicator for authentic hip hop of those truly in the “know”.

While producing, crafting, mixing, and mastering some of Hip Hop’s biggest tunes, Young Guru and Just Blaze with the rest of those who kept Baseline Studios operating were keeping their ears to the streets. Would those ears lead to what could possibly be the biggest surprise signing in Hip Hop history?!
