BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the DJ BONDS & DJ BREEZE interview session! This interview session was supposed to drop last week, in conjunction with Bonds’ and Breeze’s incredible documentary “WHERE WE’RE FROM: RISE OF L.A. UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP” that released worldwide on Aug 24. Let’s just say a few technical difficulties in prepping the episode and Doe’s challenging personal schedule is the ‘cause for the delay - all excuses aside, it’s finally here. If you didn’t know, Bonds and Breeze built CLUB ELEMENTS, one of the most powerful underground nights in West Coast hip-hop history during the late 90s and early aughts, and this documentary shines a much needed light on its impact then and now. The stories are endless - DE LA SOUL and TALIB KWELI showing up to Elements unannounced after a Spitkicker show in LA, ATCQ’s PHIFE DAWG judging emcee battles and every single seminal West Coast hip-hop group passing through it’s doors at one time or another - FREESTYLE FELLOWSHIP, JURASSIC 5, PLANET ASIA, SOULS
