Hard to believe, but this year is halfway over. There have been some great underground rap records released and our three hosts discuss the best of what we have listened to thus far. Then we have an interview with rapper Psalm One about her influences, writing style, and much much more. Psalm first turned heads with her excellent debut, The Death of Frequent Flyer, primarily produced by friend of the program DJ Albert Jenkins, formerly known as Overflo, and has continued to release music, videos, and tour ever since. Beats for this week’s show were submitted by NAHreally from his album Loose Around the Edges and we appreciate the contribution. DBRP is a proud part of the Stony Island Audio podcast network.

This week we are joined at the roundtable by our friend King Most. He recently released The Triangle, a collaborative EP with rapper Siddiq and DJ Spiñorita. He has also worked with rapper Jay Worthy and hosts DJ culture podcast Opening Set but is perhaps best known for his creative dance floor-focused DJ edits and remixes. Next up we have a great interview with Esoteric, longtime MC and hip-hop obsessive. Familiar to many fans from the underground duo 7L & Esoteric, more recently he has collaborated with Wu Tang’s Inspectah Deck in the group Czarface. The group is known for its colorful artwork, comic book and toy tie-ins, as well as full length collaborations with larger-than-life MCs like Ghostface and MF DOOM.
