• Episode: Hip-Hop 50 🎤📀

  HungerIVMore celebrates Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary the only way we know how — with an audio party for the culture.

  Since its birth on Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx, 1973, Hip-Hop has been the heartbeat of the people. It’s the soundtrack for anyone with a dollar and a dream, a movement that made the world stop, drop, shut ‘em down, and open up shop.

  To mark 50 years of greatness, B, Jus, and T throw down in classic HungerIVMore style — finding NBA Hoops counterparts for some of their favorite Hip-Hop artists. From icons to groups, duos to the legendary ladies of Hip-Hop, this episode covers every corner of the game.

  Put your headphones on and pitch in on a party — this one might just get shut down early.

• To Pimp a Lion Pt. 1🦁
  The HungerIVMore Podcast — The Only Podcast That Gives You Ambition To Elevate 🏔️

  After our Love is Blue episode had the world talking about water, whales, OceanGate, and the Titanic, we decided to switch ecosystems and head to the Serengeti for this one.
  

  To Pimp a Lion takes you on a sonic safari — a journey comparing the coming-of-age of lions to the path of becoming fully confident in your own skin. From birth to battle scars, finding your tribe to earning your stripes, this one’s all about ambition, independence, and learning when to move with fear or respect.

  Keep your arms inside the vehicle and ride with the pride deep down in the jungle deep.

  Brian, Tyler, and Jus explore everything from how to love, self-love, and finding balance in chaos, to embracing the bluest, truest version of you. Because sometimes, Love is Blind to those who refuse to see it with a Blue View.
