Queens, New York, has always been a pulsating node in the expansive body of hip-hop, and the homies Shawn, Coop and Adriel got a vault of memories tied to its streets and sounds to prove it. The latest episode of our podcast takes a journey through the borough's legacy, contrasting its influence with the likes of Staten Island and Brooklyn, all while gearing up for a celebration of a classic album that's edging towards its 30th strut around the sun. Adding flavor to our conversation is Erik from Jamaica Queens, a dynamo in hat design, rap, and entrepreneurship, who's lent his craft to the legendary Nas.
Amidst the rhythm and beats, we stitch together the threads of music and fashion as Erik, alias King Ways New Era, unwraps the narrative behind crafting exclusive headgear for Nas's King's Disease series. The storytelling doesn't stop at lyrics, as we navigate the emotional ebbs and flows that artists endure while trying to synchronize the tunes of their past, present, and future. This episode isn't just about beats and bars—it's an ode to the organic connection between fashion, music, and the pride they instill in a community.
We then crank up the volume on discussions surrounding the music industry's current complexion, pondering the impact of social media on artists' careers and the ethical entanglements of AI technology in music production. The fabric of our chat is woven with nostalgia as we reminisce about hip-hop titans like Rico Wade and dissect the enduring resonance of Nas's 'Illmatic'. With a mix of surprise guests and candid interviews adding to the mix, you're guaranteed a session that's as vibrant and spirited as the culture we're championing.
