The Corner

In this episode I chop it up with my dope, dear friend and fellow hip hop nerd, Jeremy Cannon. It’s The Canon/Cannon of Hip Hop Volume 1 y'all! (See what we did there!?) Listen in as we catch up all at the same as naming some absolute must listens and impactful albums! In all of the ways this conversation was a long time coming. Have I told y'all that I love my friends and I hate COVID for keeping them away from me? 

The poem you hear in this episode is from my collection, Analog Poems, and is called  “Hip Hop (In The Name Of Love)”. You can pick up a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Matthew-Wood/author/B01D2H6UWO?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true
