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.

Fun episode of Juan Epstein featuring a very old College Park cronie of mine The Quartermaine aka D-Real!

Hangin’ With Droog

Music, My Dudes, Podcasts

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.

A Pair of ’90s Rap Gems

Music, The Good Old Days, Videos

The first Juan Epstein podcast of 2016 doesn’t feature a guest, but rather Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg playing random rap songs from the ’90s and 2000s. And of the lot that they pulled out, there were two in particular that I was pleasantly surprised to hear—Kwest Tha Madd Lad “101 Things To Do While I’m With Your Girl” and The Nonce “Mix Tapes.” Both are personal favorites from my high school days, off albums that I still have in my CD collection (I have The Nonce single on vinyl too). Peep the Kwest video above and The Nonce one below, and listen to the full Juan Epstein episode HERE.
