Episode Info

  • Episode183
What is the rap album of the summer? We share our picks as well as some listener feedback sourced from Twitter. That conversation inevitably leads to a deeper examination of the seasonality of music and how we decide when to listen to certain albums. Then we have a great talk with MC The Last Emperor. Perhaps best known for his underground classic cut "Secret Wars" where he imagines a battle between hip-hop stalwarts (who he impersonates, some of the impressions are spot on) and Marvel comic heroes many years before the MCU was the dominant force in entertainment. The Emperor had a winding path through the music business, and breaks down his unique career and approach in detail here. DBRP is a proud part of the Stony Island Audio podcast network.
