After releasing their classic self-titled debut album, Boston's own Feed The Family came through to discuss their follow-up "Zing Language" and much more! From serving zings and facing the harsh consequences of street life, Feed The Family have transitioned and solidified themselves as one of New England's top rap groups, receiving co-signs from the likes of Griselda's Westside Gunn. In this episode, we discussed everything from how their new album came together, the group's focus on the "underground" demographic, and even took a deeper look at their own traumas and the hypocrisies of capitalism in America. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!

After a decisive win at the Ultimate Iron Chamber, the newly-crowned Grand Master of the Chamber, Jo Saza, joined us on this week's episode! We kicked off the episode with a recap of the Ultimate Iron Chamber, as Jo Saza explained his mentality and preparation leading up to the event. We also discussed what Saza plans to do with the $5,000 grand prize, how he plans to keep the momentum going, and how his background as a student of theater & show production has helped shape his artistry.

In the second half of the episode, we reacted to a polarizing tweet from friend of the show, RobPutsInWork, that had the timeline buzzing over the weekend. We got Tomo on the phone as we debated the topic of blood diamonds vs lab diamonds and our community's obsession with luxury goods. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!

On this week's episode, we sat down with Jason Almeida, better known as WHERE'S NASTY, a creative director, DJ, and event producer from Providence, RI. We explored his journey into hip-hop, the changing landscape of music discovery, and why numbers don’t define success in the culture. Nasty also shared his experiences throwing parties in high school, getting into DJing in college, and how he co-founded Stay Silent PVD, the force behind iconic events like Day Trill.

We also discussed the differences between Boston's and Providence's music scene, the balance between visibility and money in the creative industry, and the importance of understanding your audience through data. Anddd... we might've also touched on (pause) the Diddy situation toward the end of the episode. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!
