Not to get all ageist in here but one of the unique joys of being a Gen X’er is knowing what the world was like before the internet. Back in the halcyon days of the early 90’s building a”buzz” wasn’t a matter clicking and scrolling on a page. Marshalling people’s attention back then meant putting your boots on the ground and fliers on windshields.
This week we talked to Sunspot Jonz of Mystik Journeyman who took the Bay Area’s “out the trunk’ ethos to whole other level. From selling tapes hand-to-hand on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley to rocking packed houses overseas, Sunspot has done it all. The legendary hustle of Mystik Journey laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most successful underground hip hop groups of all time, Living Legends. Sunspot was as energtic and ripped as ever in this interview.
In the intro segment hosts Nate Le Blanc, Demone Carter, and David Ma talk about some of the best releases from Q3 of 2022. Also, Nate and Dave give a primer on what rap songs are suitable to listen to before 10am.
