This week on The Rodes Live Podcast, we’re joined by Orlando McGhee, an influential industry executive, consultant, and creative visionary whose fingerprints are all over the blueprint of Southern hip-hop. As the Executive at RPM One, McGhee’s legacy runs deep—from his early work pushing the Crunk sound into the mainstream, to managing powerhouse production collectives like Organize Noize (the architects behind OutKast and Goodie Mob) and The Justice League (known for their lush soundscapes for Rick Ross, Jeezy, and Drake).

In this episode, we talk about the rise of the South, how Atlanta became a cultural capital, and the behind-the-scenes grind that helped shape an era. McGhee opens up about artist development, business lessons, and his journey from A&R to executive consultant—bridging creativity and commerce in the music game.
