This week, hiphop heavyweight Ras Kass stops in. You may know him from the work he’s put in with Kurupt, Xzibit, Coolio and Tha Dog Pound and his numerous albums that have been produced by everyone from Dr Dre to Pete Rock. That said, you may not know some of the stories behind this MC who was awarded 5 Mics by The Source whilst seeing firsthand the pitfalls and highs of a music industry that has changed before our eyes. Ras also chats to the boys about his new ‘vinyl playlist’ called ‘Im Not Clearing Shvt‘ and features the must have track, 5 Mikes.
