Since the dawn of hip hop, the authenticity of an artist has always come in to question through their lyrics. Whether it be a depiction of their environment, or extra curricular activities that they may be involved in. But where do the lines blur between real life and artistic license? Is it acceptable to make stuff up for the sake of a dope rhyme? Join us as we discuss our takes on "realness" in rap lyrics as well as other hip hop related topics including Rap Caviar for Spotify's 50 best beats of all time, and Freddie Gibbs baby mama drama.
Joining us on this episode is UK rapper and producer Daniel Son. Go check his new banger of a project "Red October" out now on all DSPs. -
In this episode we reintroduce ourselves by talking about some of the artists and albums that got us into Hip Hop. We then get into a (much heated at times) debate about which UK rappers we think should link up with legendary producer The Alchemist.
