We run down the behind-the-scenes stories behind some of the mags popular covers and what their place is in the suddenly not so crowded music journalism biz. There is a lot of media/journalism game and history in this one. Listen and tell a friend.

Hip-hop's latest lyrical sensation Nick Grant joins us with his manager Jason Geter. The South Cack native speaks on his past, his drive and how he plans on taking rap over with Culture Republic's own Jason Geter giving him the game.

This is a must listen episode.

DIM MAK recording artists Watch The Duck cannot be boxed in. The guys joined us to speak on their worldly travels and how those have afforded them some diverse interests in genres.

If you're in the mood for some real storytelling, sit back and enjoy this week's episode. We have DJ Smurf aka Mr. Collipark in the building talking about everything from Atlanta's Hip Hop scene pre-Outkast to discovering Ying Yang Twins and Soulja Boy to creating that "Wobble" song your auntie loves to man...just tune in, you're in for a treat. Truly one of the more insightful but least recognized innovators in the game today.
