Most of you failed miserably with our last Have You Heard episode, so we're running it back to close-out 2024.

This show has 28 tracks, featuring bootlegs, b-sides, deep album cuts and remixes.  Keep count of each song you've heard before. Don't count the original versions, just the ones you hear on this episode.  

We're going on the honor system and there's no honor in being a crumb bum. Keep score at home and then return to our episode post on Instagram or Facebook and share with us how many you've heard before.   

You know we had to show some Rickey love on this jawn, so it made sense to drop this episode on 12/24/24 and peace to Oakland indie label ABB on the logo flip. We also snuck in some love for a few fallen soldiers this year like Bo$$, Ka, Saafir and Chino XL on this episode. 

Point Levels:  28 = Supreme Clientele

25 = Don’t Sweat The Technique

20 = Dah Shinin

15 = No Need For Alarm

Chances are you listen to Take It Personal because you're stuck in the golden era. But every once in a while, we feel it's our responsibility to put a spotlight on today's music.

On episode 154, we're do all of the heavy lifting to help you diversify your bonds, like GZA. We'll always be a 90's centric show at heart, but some of us are really stuck in the past and we feel you might be missing out on some great music, especially from the independent artists out there.

We've got new music from Godfather Don, Ka, High & Mighty, Blu, Vic Spencer. Mickey Diamond, Rahim Samad, Truth By Design, Vice Souletric,  Recognize Ali, Kurious, Diamond D, Awon & Phoniks, Paradox & DJ Sean P, Apathy, ALYX Ryon & Jumbled to name a few. Maybe even some Pete & Bas if you keep listening to the very end (hint, hint).

On episode 151, we're teleporting back to 1995. If you had a 5-disc CD changer in the whip, chances are you had Dah Shinin' in one of those slots.  

Tek and Steele announced their presence with authority on Enta da Stage in '93, then dropped the classic Bucktown b/w Let's Git It On single in early '94, which had everyone patiently waiting for their album. 

In January '95, the wait was over and Dah Shinin' immediately became a favorite. With their witty harmonizing 1-2 punch, along with the Da Beatminerz, Dah Shinin' was classic upon first listen and the birth of what we now know as the Boot Camp Clik. 

We're joined by General Steele, as we go track-by-track with him on Dah Shinin'. Learn all about your favorites, whether it's Timz 'n' Hood Chek, Sound Bwoy Bureill, Bucktown, Hellucination, Let's Git It On or Cession at da Doghillee. Steele shares intimate details about the making of every track, including the remixes and some non-album cuts. 

Steele also shares some hilarious and fascinating stories about recording @ D&D Records, Buckshot, Sean Price, working with Mary J. Blige and of course Tupac Shakur. 

If you're a Smif-N-Wessun fan or a Boot Camp fan, you're not going to want to miss this episode!
