This week Adam sits down with Rob Pursey - Master of Ceremonies and DJ at Hip Hop Karaoke, Southern Hospitality/Players Ball, former Fat Lace and Hip Hop Connection journalist, and general hip hop authority. We discuss his journey South from Darlington and Newcastle through Leeds and Manchester, to London. We learn how busy it's possible for one person to be, juggling promotion, journalism and DJing with primary school teaching. We find out how influential hearing contemporary Southern rap in the club was for Rob, and how it ushered in a whole new era of DJing and promotion for him, and how the Southern Hospitality crew basically became an A&R force in the US and across Europe.
