BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 136! Dropping a day late folks, lots going on at the beginning of the week - but not to worry, we still got that twice a week fire for you! Meeks and Doe provide more of the latest and greatest hip-hop joints as they always do, and we went north to Toronto for our interview session this week. We’re big fans of whats bubbling beneath the surface in the T-Dot here at Southern Vangard & Official Crate Music radio, so we had to get one of the gentleman behind it on the show - the one and only Bozack Morris! Interview snippets are at the end of our Ep135 mix, the full interview drops on Thursday.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Lute interview session! We are BIG fans of North Cack hip-hop here at Southern Vangard radio ya’ll, and the state continually turns out some of the best hip-hop music year after year. This West Charlotte MC is no different - as he just dropped his official Dreamville debut, “West, 1996 Pt. II” at the end of September, and boy is it is a BURNER. We get the scoop on Lute’s history on coming up in Charlotte, the musical influence his family had on him & the Nas influenced 2012 mixtape that started it all. Of course we dig into the new album, it’s creation and why it was supposed to drop it quite a few years ago but didn’t, and how a random conversation about North Carolina hip-hop landed him on J. Cole’s Dreamville imprint. Lots more inside folks, so hit play without delay, cop the Lute album today and remember it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 135! That cool, fall crisp is in the air here in the A folks, and it means we have quite the pep in our step this week! Of course we have a plethora of new joints this week on Ep135, and we have a great interview session on Thursday with West Charlotte’s LUTE, who just dropped his Dreamville debut, “West, 1996 Pt II” last week!

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Jon Glass interview session! This Boston producer has been on quite the come up over the past few years as he’s been behind the boards for notable folks like Token, Hopsin, Joyner Lucas, Reks and countless others. He’s currently on a tear right now with his weekly single series with Soulspazm & FiveSe7enMusic, so we had to sit down to get his backstory and see what else he’s cooking up for us in the near future. Glass co-collaborator and friend of Southern Vangard Radio, J57, also came by to hang out in-studio, so it made for quite a party! Lest not forget that Mr. Glass also gave us THREE exclusives that we rocked on our Ep134 mix, so make sure you go check those joints out as well. Don’t keep listening to those trashcasts every week - make it easy on yourself and tune in to what is always that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 134! Hey folks, sometimes it can be tough managing the best damn hip-hop podcast on earth alongside super important things like family, jobs and the like. So this week we had to switch it up a little bit by dropping our mix AND the interview session on Thursday! We have a great interview session this week with Boston producer Jon Glass - not to mention good friend of Southern Vangard Radio, J57, hung out with us during the chat. Glass also hit us with THREE exclusives you can find in our Ep134 mix. On top of THAT, we had an exclusive chat during the mix show with the man that brought us the now infamous Cardi B meme a few weeks ago - the one and only DJ Element! So don’t fret a bit, you don’t have to keep listening to those TRASHCASTS this week- we still serving up that goodness, and it’s always that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Sons of Silverton interview session! We are BIG fans of Ohio hip-hop here at Southern Vangard Radio - and these two gentlemen are no exception. Citoak and Kyle David both cut their teeth in the Cincinnati hip-hop scene a number of years back as members of Watusi Tribe and Five Deez, respectively. In 2017 they’ve come together as the Sons Of Silverton and dropped their debut album a few months ago. We hear about how they came together, connecting with the producer for the entire album, New Orlean’s Prospek and the organic nature of the record - which resulted in features from Piakhan & Deion to name a few. We also hop in the wayback machine to talk about Watusi’s deal with an ATL record label some years ago, get an update on Watusi & Five Deez as well as get into some old Cincy talk. So without delay, hit play, pick up “Forever Hold Your Peace” now and never forget it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #app

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 133! The saga continues folks! You know what the deal is by now - brand spanking new music every week (you know we very rarely repeat a joint, right?), lively color commentary from Doe & Meeks and an interview with someone we feel you should know about. This week we head back to Ohio for a lovely chat with Citoak & Kyle David aka the SONS OF SILVERTON! Interview snippets are at the end of the Ep133 mix, and you can check out the full interview on Thursday.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the The Perceptionists interview session! Comprised of Mr. Lif & Akrobatik, this Boston duo has been largely silent since they dropped their debut album “Black Dialogue” alongside DJ Fakts One in 2004. This all changed in August of this year with the release of “Resolution” on Mello Music Group, their first album in over a decade. We talk about the new record, how long they’ve been working on the reunion and what they’re looking forward to the most this fall as they head out on the first leg of the tour in support of the album. We also hop in the wayback machine and get the breakdown on the hiatus, including near death experiences for both Lif and Ak and what they’ve been doing in the interim - such as Lif becoming a member of Thievery Corporation and Ak’s consistent solo & feature work. Given Lif and Ak are both big sports guys, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t open up the Super Bowl 2017 wound, as well as hear about how Ak & Lif are supporting their New England Patrio

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 132! Even in the middle hurricane - we still give ya’ll that raw twice a week! Like always, on a Tuesday you get all of the latest and greatest hip-hop cut up by DJ Jon Doe and lively commentary from Eddie Meeks & Doe - and on top of that you get an in-depth interview session on Thursday with a group we’re extremely happy to see the return of - The Perceptionists! You can hear snippets of our chat with Mr Lif. & Akrobatik at the end of this mix until the full interview drops on Thursday! #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live Sept 10, 2017 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud twitter/IG: @jondoeatl @southernvangard @cappuccinomeeks Inst. beds prod.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Camoflauge Monk #interview session! This Buffalo native has been providing the soundtrack for your favorite rappers over the past few years - like one Westside Gunn, one Conway, one Mach Hommy, one Tha God Fahim - need we say more? Monk hit us with stories about coming up with all of these gentlemen, how he got into the music game and why his family is a huge source of inspiration and the foundation for his career in music. We also rap about the unparalleled work ethic he and his circle possess, how’s he’s building up his brand and his approach with merch. We also get the goods on his upcoming 2018 LP with Mach Hommy and his soon to be released project with Mass Appeal, titled #ArtDealer - it’s dropping sooner than you think! You know there’s much more inside - so roll it up, pour it out, sit back and take in that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergro

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 131! Good people - we assume you know this podcast is NSFW - but if there was ever an episode that was, this is it. Meeks was on one trillion and boy are you all in for a treat. Not only that, there’s tons of brand spaking new joints too - AND we have an interview session with none other than CAMOUFLAUGE MONK this week. Snippets of the interview are at the end of Ep131, the full drops on Thursday. You don’t find this on any old radio show or podcast, folks - and like we always say, it’s nothing but that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live Sept 3, 2017 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud twitter/IG: @jondoeatl @southernvangard @cappuccinomeeks Inst beds prod.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 130! The dirty 130 folks, as we put another notch on the belt here at Southern Vangard Radio. Really good week for new music - if you’ve been under a rock and need to catch up on the latest and greatest, you’re in the right place. No interview this week, go back and check out interviews with Prince Paul, Illa Ghee & Bernadette Price that have taken place over the last three weeks if you need that talk radio in your life. We’ll be back with that twice a week goodness next week and will continue to provide that that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live August 28, 2017 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud twitter/IG: @jondoeatl @southernvangard @cappuccinomeeks Inst. beds prod.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Prince Paul #interview session! Good god ya’ll, where do we start? Ever since the homie Peter Agoston hit us a month ago about interviewing Paul in conjunction with the September re-release of Paul’s “Itstrumentals” on vinyl & cassette, it’s difficult to describe how excited we’ve been. Trust when we tell you this interview kicks off in true Prince Paul style, and doesn’t let up until the very end. We talk about what we can expect with the re-release, Paul’s new project called “Redux” that will be given away FREE with “Instrumentals” and why he considers this not only his best work in several years - but also how it reminds him of his time spent on the first Gravediggaz album in the mid-90s. We also get a break down on Paul’s involvement with the recent Birth of Hip-Hop Google Doodle, how he’s navigating the music industry these days and what it’s like being the proud dad of his son DJ P For Real, who is currently DJing for Lil Uzi Vert. There’s a LOT more insi

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 129! Total eclipse, schmotal eclipse - what’s REALLY important this week is our Episode 129 mix show and interview session. Why, you ask? Because on top of all the new joints you expect every Tuesday, we also have a PRINCE PAUL EXCLUSIVE you’ve never heard anywhere else until now! If that’s not enough, we have an interview with PRINCE PAUL himself that serves as our interview session this week! Snippets of the interview are at the end of Ep 129, the full drops on Thurs!

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Illa Ghee @illaghee interview session! This one has been a long time coming, and truthfully, should have happened a long time ago. We’ve been fans of this Brooklyn native since his larger introduction to the world on Mobb Deep’s “Hell on Earth”, the unforgettable “Hold Me Down”, his collaborations with close friend and rhyme partner Sean Price and his relentless solo work & feature game. We dig in with Illa across the board , folks - from his latest web series “New York Minute”, to dealing with the passing of his mother, Sean Price, Damon Goode and Prodigy all within a 3 year time span, AND how Meeks and Doe inadvertently provided a little motivation for Illa’s new music that will be dropping before the year is out. Go subscribe to “New York Minute” on YouTube @ illagheetv, light up a suede cigarette and remember it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud //

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 128! Hey ho, we’re back at it again this week folks - Doe and Meeks have done their very best to keep the mood light and provide 90+ minutes of unfiltered, raw entertainment. Of course, lots of new joints for the mix this week, not to mention a must-hear interview session with Brooklyn’s own ILLA GHEE @illaghee that drops on Thursday! Jon was talking trash like there weren’t interview snippets at the end of the mix, but he managed to sneak a few in the end. Make sure you check Illa’s web series New York Minute before the interview drops Thursday, and remember it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live August 14, 2017 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud twitter/IG: @jondoeatl @souther

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the the Bernadette Price “Imperius Rex” Edition interview session! Like we said in the Ep 126 mix show this week - if you’re a true hip-hop fan and don’t know what dropped today, 8/8/2017, then what in God’s name have you been doing the past year or so? Sean Price’s “Imperius Rex” is finally here, and we brought the person responsible for bringing it to the masses back on the show for her 2nd interview session - the one and only Bernadette Price. We’re not giving anything away here - you’re just going to have to press play on this as well as Ep 126 for more insight from Mr. Green and Rim of DaVillins.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 127! Boy is this week is a DOOZY! Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past 6-12 months, you should know that Tuesday, 8/8/2017 brings us Sean Price’s long awaited “Imperius Rex” LP. In celebration of its release, we snagged MR. GREEN and RIM of DAVILLINS to chat with us during Ep 126 - Green provides us a little background on the making of his Live From The Streets episode with Sean that just dropped, and Rim talked to us about his critical support & involvement with “Imperius Rex.” WAIT - THERE’S MORE! We’re also we’re dropping a brand spanking new interview session with BERNADETTE PRICE on the same day! Yep, no waiting around until Thursday for the interview session, there’s too much goodness to wait!

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 126! We had no idea where this podcast would take us when we started it on the first Sunday in 2015. If you had told us a little over two years later that the one and only GRAP LUVA would be in Dirty Blanket Studios as a co-host for Episode 126, we would have definitely called you crazy! On top of that - Grap brought by some never heard before beats for us to yap over during the talk breaks! And if THAT wasn’t enough, DJ Pocket was also in the house and gave us the lowdown on how he and long time friend and collaborator Count Bass D produced “Too Much Pressure”, Count’s latest single with Snoop Dogg!
