Through The Crate

In part 1 of our season finale, we invited a few friends to end the year with a bang. We go over our top 5, bottom 5 and notable albums for the year of 2016. From Anderson Paak to Young Jeezy, Chance the Rapper to Young Thug, you'll hear some really interesting conversations in this episode. Plus its hilarious! Listen and enjoy!

In this episode we talk about the aftermath of the election and what it means to our community and culture. We dive into what music got us through the day after the election, why Donald Trump won, and how A Tribe Called Quest's new album "We've Got It From Here, Thank You For Your Service" was right on time.

In this edition of delayed episodes, we discuss albums like Big Baby D.R.A.M., Danny Brown's Atrocity Exhibition, to Dave East's Kyrie Chanel. We also went down the rabbit hole of Eminem's lengthy Campaign Speech. We eventually climbed out of that hole by diving into Drake's out of the blue songs (Fake Love, Two Birds One Stone, Sneakin') and how he's throwing shots at Pusha T and Kid Cudi. Take a listen! Let us know what you think!

This episode is full of acronyms, and we didn't even do it on purpose. From The Healing Component, passed the stupid shit Donald trump says and ending up with us making stupid, mean jokes... we're giving you gold! Listen and let us know what you think!

In this episode, we dive into the long awaited debut album from Isaiah Rashad, The Sun's Tirade. We also cover the largest festival to hit the Southside of Chicago, Magnificent Coloring Day. And lastly, we cover some of hiphop's latest news - Meek vs Game, Timbaland leaving Empire, and over course, the Presidential Debate. Lots of fun in this episode! Let us know what you think!

In this episode, we interview an up and coming producer by the name of Glocque. We talk about his start and tastes in music, as well as the projects he has out and what's coming soon. He also sticks around with us as we talk about Travis Scott's new album Birds in the Trap Sing Mcknight, as well as De La Soul And the Anonymous Nobody. Also recorded with a small audience, so theres lots of laughs and fun shit happening! Take a listen!

There was so much music to go through for this episode we barely made it through! From Frank Ocean’s Blond, to Vince Staples Prima Donna, there was a ton to cover. Plus, we added in some hip hop news, covering Chris Brown’s recent arrest. This was a fun episode! More to come in the next one! Stay tuned!!

The saga continues with a new foe added to the story. Drake vs Joe vs New York, where Drake decides its ok to diss people in their own city (Drake's grown some huge cojones). We also cover what it means to be unique as well as individuality in hip hop.

LISTEN, RATE, REVIEW AND ENJOY!!!

In this episode, we start off with the concept of "old Heads" in hiphop. Is 30 the new "Old Head" in hip hop? Is it bad to be an old head? We dive into this conversation, specifically around the comments Lil Yatchy made in recent interviews.

We also provide our thoughts on Gucci's new album, Everybody's Looking, as well as DJ Khaled's Major Key and provide a few songs that should be on your radar.
