BX’s own Westside Parlé—who I’ve been saying is my favorite new rapper out of NYC—pays a visit to the Feed The Meter podcast, hosted by Hot 97/Juan Epstein affiliates DJ Juanyto, Hip Hop Mike, and Billy Jr. It’s a fun and interesting talk, plus we get some impromptu and impressive bars towards the end.
Keep your eyes open for Parlé, he’s a problem. Shouts to my dude Dro with the cameo, too. Stay up.
Great appearance by Andy Samberg on one of my favorite comedy podcasts, You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes. Listen above, and peep the trailer for Andy’s new Judd Apatow-produced movie Popstar below…
I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks to Rosenberg for the name-drop and including my question about The Beatnuts collabo with Grand Puba in the interview. Classic episode.

Michael Rapaport sits down with Marc Maron. Classic episode!
The hood’s favorite podcaster Taxstone hits the chicken spot with Action Bronson’s right-hand man Big Body Bes to talk about everything from his criminal history to his supporting role on Fuck, That’s Delicious. This is quite entertaining. Listen above, and then peep this week’s episode of FTD below, where Bam Bam, Body and the gang tour the Pacific Northwest in search of good eats and weed.
Fun episode of Juan Epstein featuring a very old College Park cronie of mine The Quartermaine aka D-Real!
Your Old Droog was the special guest on this week’s episode of the Juan Epstein podcast, check it out above. They basically just shoot the shit, it’s not a formal interview or anything. But it’s still a fun listen. Peep Droog’s new Marco Polo-produced ode to 42nd Street—”42 (Forty Deuce)”—below, too.

I’m an SNL baby, so dudes like David Spade were huge influences on my sense of humor as a middle/high school kid. I just finished listening to his sit-down with Marc Maron, and it was surprisingly one of my favorite WTF episodes in a long time. Lots of interesting and funny stories about his upbringing in Arizona, his career as a stand-up comic, and of course his stint on Saturday Night Live with Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and the rest of the gang. Plus current personal shit I never knew about, like his relationship with his 7-year-old daughter, and a crazy story about an assistant of his who broke into his house a few years ago and basically tried to kill him while he was sleeping. Listen above, or stream on whatever podcast outlet you prefer.
My boys ItsTheReal—the hip-hop comedy duo with Harrison roots—continue to pump out quality podcast episodes with the music industry’s brightest and most interesting artists and personalities on their show A Waste of Time. Their latest episodes star two dudes who I interviewed for my 2014 NahRight Father’s Day Feature on Rap Dads, The Kid Mero and Shea Serrano. Mero is a comedian from the Bronx who cracks me the fuck up with his witty hood commentary, and Shea is an extremely talented and hilarious writer/author (The Rap Year Book is available now on Amazon). And they both hold down the fort as dedicated Dads and family men.
Shea’s episode just dropped so I haven’t peeped it yet, but I already know it’s amazing just off how amazing a guy he is. As for Mero’s, I’m about halfway through, and the story about him saying what’s up to Slick Rick while helping his son pee into a Poland Spring bottle outside the Dollar Tree had me laughing out loud in my car (mad loud) today. Listen to The Kid Mero’s episode above, and Shea Serrano’s below. Shouts to my boys Eric and Jeff aka ItsTheReal, thanks again for coming through to rep with me the other night at Mercury Lounge!
There are a shitload of hip-hop podcasts out right now, which for heads like me is a great thing! The more the merrier, ya heard? One of my favorite new ones is Tax Season, hosted by Brooklyn bad guy Taxstone. His latest episode is with the one and only Noreaga a.k.a. N.O.R.E. I always wanted to interview this guy myself because he’s such a character, and he’s in a great mood during this talk with Tax. Lots of incredible history and hood anecdotes, including memories of the first time he shot someone (he was 11), and the time he got tight after losing a basketball game to 112 haha. I’m only halfway through, can’t wait to listen to the rest. Instant classic.
