You’re Safe Here

LRK Production is good with the music, the videos, the consistent content, and now with a podcast show. To add on, Ashley, Destini, Shaq, Devoe, and Mr. LRK himself are excellent at creating spaces that are comfortable for creators and the surroundings. Their show forms an environment that speaks on topics that are taboo, enriching, and educational. Each episode comes with various perspectives that match perfectly and each personality adds gems to the conversation.

The Auntie House Podcast

Joy Ruth and Ebonique are the cool easy-listening aunties that are welcoming creators, business people, and all out cool individuals to their space and have conversations about various points in life. Hearing stories from the guests on how creators become the great people in their respected careers (along with the Queen aunties) and how they overcame small and big trials is inspiration to the ears.

The Blog Era

ItsTheReal duo has been blossoming with their shows: A Waste of Time podcast, 2 Jews & 2 Black Dudes podcast with The Lox, and being cool guys. They take their praised storytelling strengths to the narrative podcast realm with their new show: The Blog Era.

Brothers Eric and Jeff Rosenthal dive in to the history of how blogging helped out some of the Hip Hop artists we celebrate today (the likes of J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Big KRIT, etc). Blog sites become popular by posting songs that the labels wouldn’t have done. Sites like Nah Right, 2 Dope Boyz and more were instrumental in sparking an era that needed like. Thanks to ItsTheReal for doing that.

Rap Radar

OPINION: this is the best Hip Hop podcast out.

Elliott Wilson and B-Dot are a dynamic duo that gets in to the works and minds of some of the prominent emcees and musicians shaking up the culture. Wilson and Dot have an impressive resume when it comes to Hip Hop journalism, so bringing the interviews to the pod world is a plus for the Hip Hop nerds and historians.

This a great way to get into the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop spirit!
