This time on the podcast we've got a golden era - late 90's hip hop mix by Kimani Rogers, who you may know from New York rhyme team Masterminds...or the instrumental outfit Rogue Pharmacist...or the cult favorite indie rock/rap duo Roosevelt Franklin (w/ Mr. Len), or perhaps from his time running the now-defunct Third Earth Records in NYC, which issued many great early records from folks we love like Jean Grae, Oddjobs, Pumpkinhead, Juggaknots and, of course, Masterminds. If you're just tuning in, Masterminds and Rogue Pharmacist were some of the first established artists from outside our city and state that gave us a chance when we we're really just getting our feet wet with the label side of things. This mix was made by Kimani during the first season, as we were experimenting with what kinds of podcast episodes might work. The original drop was served around Valentine’s Day season, and was titled 'Bitches Love Mixtapes', lol. The cover art was styled like a meme from the movie High Fidelity. It was a good one, so we’re giving it the spotlight again. • Follow Folks @MastermindsNYC
