The Lounge Presents

After having seen how the war in Gaza has affected CAMPS BREAKERZ CREW, we invited SHARK into the lounge space to share his journey in the culture through breaking and how they have been able to endure despite 201 days of the Israel-Hamas war.

An important podcast we believe everyone should watch.

Mighty salute to SHARK and the CAMP BREAKERZ.

Dope episode with a dope emcee.

CWE Tag Team champions CRAFT BEER COMPANY (Jay Rockne & Scott Ripley) took some time out of their schedule to join us on the pod to discuss their come-up in pro wrestling, share a little BTS on the business and to promote their upcoming first title defense at CWE's "Good Friday, Great Wrestling" event on March 29.

It was a pleasure to welcome IAMGAWD into the lounge space for the first time to share his journey in hip hop, the new renaissance of emcees from the Chi and to discuss the release of his latest album, Bloodstained Suede II, the follow up to his collaboration with producer CLYPTO.

A truly gifted emcee that whose discography should be in your collection.
