BANG! @southernvangard radio Ep406! Schools back in this week here in the A, folks - which means that traffic is jacked for the next 9 months and you need some good listening in the morning to get you through carpool drop off - look no further, Doe and Meeks are hear for ya. Gobs of new joints this week per the usual, and our good friend C.O. The Don dropped in to help us close out the show. If you missed our Twitch stream on Sunday night, make sure you head over there for the replay, as we paid tribute to the one and only DJ POLO, who unfortunately passed last week with a barnstorming Twitch Only set. One day we might have these Twitch Only mixes up somewhere…THAAAAANK YAAA and YOU WAAAAALCOME!!!!! #SmithsonianGrade #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on all platforms #hiphop #undergroundhiphop #boombap ---------- Recorded live July 28, 2024 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on all platforms #SmithsonianGrade #WeAreTheGard twitter/IG: @southernva

BANG! @southernvangard radio Ep405! Back from summer break, Vangardians, and it feels so good! This Tuesday marked the release of EDDIE MEEKS and DJ POCKET’s “TOXIC MASCULINITY” on all steaming platforms. Pocket dropped in to the lab and we got the nitty gritty on the album, played a few joints from it and also got into a bunch of heat that dropped in the past month. It’s good to have that ole feelin’ back, we THAAAAANK YAAA and YOU WAAAAALCOME!!!!! #SmithsonianGrade #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on all platforms #hiphop #undergroundhiphop #boombap Recorded live July 23, 2024 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on all platforms #SmithsonianGrade #WeAreTheGard twitter/IG: @southernvangard @jondoeatl @cappuccinomeeks Pre Game Beats - Kyo Itachi Talk Break Inst. - "Barrio Logan" - BhramaBull "Southern Vangard Theme" - Bobby Homack & The Southern Vangard All-Stars "Still Sharp" - Eddie Meeks & DJ Pocket "Era Of The Beasts" - Kount Fif ft.

Toxic Masculinity is a term used to describe a version of masculinity that is unhealthy for men and boys, and harmful to those around them. It's a set of social guidelines and attitudes that are often associated with manliness, but can have negative impacts on society, women, and men in general. The term is meant to highlight the worst aspects of stereotypically masculine traits, such as: violence, dominance, emotional illiteracy, sexual entitlement, hostility to femininity, toughness, anti-femininity, and power. The term toxic masculinity is a complete FARCE! The term "Toxic Masculinity" came from 2 Caucasian men, Shepherd Bliss & Robert J. Stoller. Masculinity is a problem in and of itself because it is a condition where you will fight back...which is the number one thing they never wanted. Where there are masculine men, there are safer environments! And on that note, DJ POCKET and EDDIE MEEKS give you their audible version of "TOXIC MASCULINITY". PREPARE FOR THE MOVEMENT!!!! credits released July 23, 20

BANG! @southernvangard radio Ep404! Summer time is here Vangardians, at least in our neck of the woods - and what that means is this is our last show before a 4 week summer break. Meeks delivered as he always done by coming through with a Playmate cooler full of those Hamm’s brewskis - from the land of sky-blue water, of course - and neighborhood friend of the show C.O. Tha Don also showed up to kick it. We wrapped with a mind-melting Twitch Only set to start the summer right - if you’re not checking us during the live stream on Twitch you’re missing out.
