In this riveting installment of "The Blues Legacy", host Liam J. Holland takes listeners on a journey from the gritty streets of the Bronx to the sultry sounds of the Mississippi Delta.

Featuring iconic tracks from legends like Grandmaster Flash, 2Pac, Robert Johnson, and John Lee Hooker, we bridge the gap between beats and blues riffs, demonstrating that hip hop, in many ways, is the blues of a new generation.
