Here's a mini episode with a higher theme.

On our way to Episode #200 of the HoodHype show, we invited MOLA1 to sit in with us as we returned to the basement to discuss everything from how the game would change if certain MCs left the game, MCs who have passed and changed it and much more.

Our first live Episode of 2013! A great time we had MOLA1 back in the basement, we discussed our favorite albums and news in 2012 and T.I.s Trouble Man album was up for Blend It or Bump It!

Independent music is rough around the edges and thats okay.

This week we asked if anyone still buys hip-hop magazines, the Manti Teo Scandal and a whole lot more! A$AP Rockys Long Live A$AP was on the chopping block for Blend it Or Bump it! Whats your take?

The whole team was in the basement with special guest MOLA1 to discuss his debut album and plenty of off-the-wall topics as well as a ton of great indie hip-hop.

Our last Episode before the world implodes upon itself on the Mayan doomsday 12/21/12. It was nice knowin yall. PEACE! (And Happy Holidays!)

Some instrumentals to zone out to. Follow us on twitter @hoodhype, hoodhype on FaceBook, Instagram and HoodHypeblog on YouTube!

A massive collection of nearly an hour of independent hip-hop joints and instrumentals. We wrapped up this weeks mini episode with a tribute to Pro-Era's Capital Steez who recently passed away. Rest In Power.

Were back with Phro in the building at our other basement this episode. We checked out Kendrick Lamars new album, paid up on some post-A3C debt (Major having his Mayo shot and all our in-show shout outs) and as always, we spun some great independent hip-hop.
