Southern Vangard

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 149! Whew folks, last week was a barnstormer personally for your guys Doe & Meeks - massive personal challenges on the home front coupled with a few snow days left us bailing on an episode & interview session. Yeah, we know we said it was coming later in the week on Thurs - we apologize. ALAS! Here we are - our Ep149 mix with so much heat you won’t be able to stand it, AND an interview session with top shelf NYC photographer Photo Rob! If you don’t know the resume, you’re about to find out - it’s pretty likely some of his photos are your favorite and are found a number of hip-hop albums and publications you own. Remember those Jay Electronica & Jay-Z flicks from the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival a few years ago - yep, that’s just a small sample. Snippets of the interview are at the end of Ep149 mix, and the full interview drops on Thursday! #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Theory Hazit interview session! We going back to Kentucky on ya’ll this week - with Portland by way of Cincinnati by way of Winchester, KY MC/producer Theory Hazit. Fresh off the heels of wrapping up a 12 month instrumental series in 2017, he puts the cherry on top with a release of the final installment, “Soul Chops” on Kiasu Records. We hear about his progress throughout 2017 with his self imposed challenge, how he managed to graduate from film school while in the midst of it and what he has in store for 2018. Of course we talk history - coming up in Kentucky and Cincinnati, OH, why he got into the game and how he connected with Scribbling Idiots. If that’s not enough we get a small glimpse into his relationship with West Coast legend Kokane & Redman, including his upcoming work on Red’s Muddy Waters 2! Yeah we’re doing it like that - so go on over to Kiasu Records and cop some vinyl, hit play on this here interview and never forget we always bring you that #s

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the CRIMEAPPLE interview session! We’ve been working on this one for a MINUTE - and like all things, it worked out as it should, and what a way to kick off 2018. This gentleman had an outstanding 2017 - from kicking off the year with a mind bending appearance on Statik Selektah’s Showoff Radio on Shade 45, to his verse on Hus Kingpin & Big Ghost Ltd’s “Cocaine Beach” LP, a searing performance on DJ Enuff’s “The Hot Box” during the summer - the list is endless. We hear about all of that and more, such as his relationship with producer and good friend Buck Dudley, collaborating with Toronto MC Daniel Son and what we can expect from him in 2018 and beyond. Did he say Houseshoes and Street Corner Music? You heard it here first folks, so drop everything you’re doing - yes E’RYTHANG - and lock into that 2018 #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #m

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Heem Stogied interview session! After a 2 week interview drought, we’re back on track - and boy is it a doozy. It always a treat when guests can come by the studio, and being located in Atlanta can have it’s advantages, especially when ATL resident HEEM STOGIED comes through! The resume speaks for itself, so we get right into it - we hear about Heem’s musical influences growing up, how he and Tha God Fahim began collaborating, and why his uncle’s barbershop is ground zero for some of hip-hop’s most important movements in decades. Heem also breaks down his work ethic, collaborating with a multitude of producers like Bozack Morris, Ol Man 80ozz, Futurewave, Nicholas Craven & Eyedee, not to mention his upcoming LP with Australian producer Flip. We can’t give anymore away - you just need to press play and trust there’s lots more inside.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 146! We're back on our flamethrower ish this week good people! While there's all kinds of new heat for the mix like always, we throw gas on the flames after a 2 week interview drought - how about an IN-STUDIO interview session with Atlanta's own HEEM STOGIED?! He brought by TWO WORLD EXCLUSIVES as well that we dropped in the Ep146 mix, and you can check interview snippets until the full drops on Thursday.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 145! Folks, we try hard - often times harder than we probably should. Even then, sometimes that twice a week consistency hits a snag - such as the case the past two weeks. AGAIN - we had 2-3 potential interviewees lined up for this week, and everyone of them fell through. This week, 8 inches of Atlanta snow hampered us from having an in-studio guest interview session, but we’ve rescheduled for next week, and the weather forecast looks favorable for that to happen! Anywhose, we still got a plate full of brand new joints with Ep145, and you better believe Meeks and Doe are still on that bullsh*t. So TUNE IN WHY DON’T ‘CHA and remember it’s always that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek!  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live December 10, 2017 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #applepo

Provided all goes well we’ll have interviews every week throughout the rest of 2017 for ya’ll - until then, go back and check the Daniel Son interview from last week, or check out the other 100 plus interviews we’ve done to date.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Daniel Son interview session! This Toronto-based MC has been making serious waves over past 18 months - from his collaborations with the Crate Divizion crew, Crimeapple, Smoovth and many others - the material just keeps coming, and more importantly - it's that certified raw ish time after time. We were very lucky to have a lengthy, 90 minute interview with Daniel as he broke down his upbringing, how he honed his craft and his long standing passion for sports. We also hear about his connections and affiliations in the Toronto underground - folks like Bozack Morris, Saipher Soze, Asun Eastwood - just to name a few. Daniel also drops a few exclusive piece of news on us from an upcoming release standpoint - not to mention he dropped off 3 never heard before, world exclusives that we we rocked on Episode 143 earlier this week.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 142! If you can’t feel it already, that holiday energy is in the air folks, good or bad - which means some irregular things can occur like Meeks not being able to make it to the show this week. So while this may not feel like the comfy & cozy Southern Vangard that you’re familiar with week after week, Doe held it down and brought a slew of heat with him. Interview session for this week is postponed - but let us say that the end of 2017 will be stupendous on the interview front.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Rock of Heltah Skeltah interview session! Man oh man oh man oh MAN. For Meeks and Doe, this podcast is easily best thing ever - especially this week - as we managed to nab an interview the legendary Rock of Heltah Skeltah & the Boot Camp Clik! After 23+ years of being in the game, Rock dropped his debut solo LP this fall - “Rockness A.P. (After Price).” We had a lengthy chat with Rock about his journey in releasing the record, what it’s like in today’s climate versus the 90s and what you can expect from the Rockness Monsta with this debut. Of course we get into a little history as well - Duck Down, Heltah Skeltah, Dru Ha, Buckshot and his PNC Sean Price to name a few, not to mention an insane story about him and Sean meeting Big Pun and the collab that almost happened! There’s a LOT more where this came from, so go ahead and cop “”Rockness A.P.” NOW, and after that push play on this here interview and be thankful for what is ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceawee

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 141! Run for cover - Meeks and Doe are taking no prisoners on this weeks’ episode.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the EyeDee interview session! This Los Angeles based producer is a member of a what Meeks and Doe like to call “The Young Boy Gang” - a number of individuals that we continue to hear from week after week on the mix show, that are putting it down with that sound but aren’t even close to cracking the age of 30. Hell some of these cats are young enough to be our children! We largely became familiar with EyeDee through his stellar work with Atlanta’s Heem Stogied, and he has really been putting it down lately on joints with Tha God Fahim, AG of DITC, Nowaah The Flood, Recognize Ali and others. We talk about EyeDee’s beginnings, his father’s influence on him musically, how he broke into the game and how he manages to stay above the fray.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the #TheMightyVIC interview session! Faithful listeners, we’re gonna say it like this - we’ve really outdone ourselves on this one. You can scour the internet all you want - you will NOT find an interview of this caliber in print, audio or video, trust. #VicPadilla is undoubtedly one of the best producers to ever do it in this world we call hip-hop, and is directly responsible for laying the foundation of many other greats as well. We kick things off by getting into his early days of DJing, the influence his sisters had on him musically and ditching school every Friday to hit #DownstairsRecords in the #NYC subway. Vic talks about his transition to producing via a music production school, cutting his teeth early on hip-hop AND house records and connecting with #Juju & #PsychoLes to form one of the greatest production teams of all time - The #Beatnuts. After that it’s an onslaught of incredible stories - #Fashion / #AlTariq, #KoolGRap, #GodfatherDon, #Nas, #ChrisLighty. #S

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 139! Let’s just put it this way folks - we often get things that others just can’t.

Interview snippets are at the end of Ep139, the full drops on Thursday.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Big Twins interview session! What can you really say about this Queensbridge legend other than he continues to consistently put it down some 20 years after breaking into the game. We kick things off by chatting with Twins about his latest project with DJ Skizz called “Billy Ocean” - we hear how the the Conway joint came together, the sleeper joint on the project and the background on the fly artwork. We get into a little history as well and hear how he and Skizz connected via Big Noyd a number of years ago, how his time on the West Coast impacted him and why he ended up in Tragedy’s “Black and Proud” video. Twins also talks about the hip-hop scene in Europe, his penchant for Italian producers and his time recently spent in Russia. If that wasn’t enough, we hear about his cooking game, the creation of Infamous Chefs, and an upcoming cook book! There’s a lot packed in these 30 minutes folks - so hit play on this here interview, go cop “Billy Ocean” now while you’re
