This episode was a long time coming. But ladies and gentlemen, we finally got Big Al on the podcast. For those of you who do not know who Big Al 360 is, this is the perfect episode for you. From his early days in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, being a rapper to later getting an intern in Philadelphia at RUFFHOUSE records to getting recognized by Greg Street for his work ethic and producing one of the biggest hits you hear on major commercials every day and don’t even notice, this guy has done it all. Great stories. IF you’ve ever heard Nappy Roots “Good Day” , then you’ve heard Big Al 360s production. ENJOY!!!
Round table discussion on this episode. We get into a more deeper dive into the Jay Electronica three pack that we got a few weeks back. I’m joined this episode by Cordell, Vinny, Dula, and Reef hustle for the first time on the podcast. It’s always good Having emcees On here to talk about albums. We discuss the quirkiness and uniqueness of Jay electrónica albums Style and songs structure. Great hip-hop conversation.
You never know where the podcast is going to take you. This episode started off light then turned into a full On explanation of Muslim faith. BP myself in Dula started off talking about the new Jay Electronica EP’s.And then it turned into an almost our long conversation about the difference between the NOI and the Ahki Muslims in Philly. Very informative episode if you were always curious about the different factions of the Muslim faith.
It doesn’t get any more positive than tonight’s episode. Dula and myself interviewed a gentleman we met online who reports all of the good in the world as opposed to the usual bullshit. Ladies, and gentlemen, I introduce to you to Passportlouis. From his early upbringing in Peoria Illinois to traveling the globe We discussed it all. From Celebrities Dm’ing praising him for “pumping the positivity” to his hip-hop ear growing up in the Midwest. We also talk about his music career and his clothing line. Great positive episode. Enjoy.
Thank you everybody for subscribing, commenting and sharing these episodes. I’m joined by Cordell and Dula to have our debate of discography. Cordell brought up the question: Who has a better three run album? Outkast or Kanye West? We went to production, quality of albums, and then get into entire discography of both artists. Great hip-hop conversation. Enjoy.
In this episode, I am joined by Vinny in the beginning as we review magazine dreams.(SPOILERS KIND OF). As soon as we wrapped that up, Bruce jumps on and we discuss the recent situation at Hersheypark as well as the component situation that happened on Labor Day. We then get into the pros and cons of growing up in the Harrisburg, school district and myself, Vinny and Bruce give our own pros and cons. Hilarious ending to that story. Enjoy.
Did something different this podcast. Dula decided to be the interviewer this time. He interviews me and gets my origin story to upbringing in Lynn, Massachusetts to the transition to moving to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. As well as a funny story of when we first met and how he and I started hanging out in early 2000 and have been Running around ever since. If you would like to get to know me or how I came up. This is the episode for you. Enjoy.
On this episode billboard has found yet another way to ruffle up some feathers with their list. I’m joined by Dula and his cousin Anthony from the Bronx so we have a nice debate on this list. We go over the criteria as well as who should and should not be on here. We also have a conversation on what is considered a group. Is it one rapper one DJ or is it two rappers and one DJ. A hilarious conversation. Enjoy!

This episode was a long time in the making. This gentleman prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't like being in front of cameras, let alone microphones. But with persistence, we have the man of the hour, Chadd Scott. If you were in Harrisburg last weekend and saw Musiq Soulchild, you saw what he's capable of planning. Chadd sat down with Dula and myself, and we discussed everything from how he became a producer and got engulfed in hip-hop to his jail time, getting focused, and coming out to hit the ground running with comedy shows, white parties, and more. We also journeyed into how he ran Midtown Soul, which was a staple in Harrisburg's music scene, right alongside The Music Man. Then, we discuss one of his biggest ventures: creating The District. It's an amazing and inspirational story from one of Harrisburg's best promoters. Enjoy!
If you haven’t seen fantastic. Four and superman, you can skip this episode. But if you have, or had some questions about some of the heroes villains, etc., this is your episode. Vinny and Bruce, who are comic book aficionados answered all of my surface level movie questions being that I am novice when it comes to the full story of fantastic four & Superman. Most of today’s episode is answering questions. Like how powerful is Franklin, Mr. fantastics Stretching. Ability. Pause. Superman and what’s in store for the DC universe. Then we get into a quick talk about Alfredo 2 and why Bruce is turning into B Dolores Tucker. Enjoy.
Consistency is key. Hope everybody is enjoying the episodes. In this episode, which was recorded prior to my Florida trip, Dula came over the house, and we discussed a variety of topics. We started it off fresh, listening to the Clips album that had just came out. We’ve been touched On, the baby and Danny Lee situation. Even though it’s Old, but we also touched on Cassie and titty situation with a little update. We’ve been talk about bad. Bunnies Puerto Rico concert that hadn’t happened yet which then let into a conversation about immigration, and basically human decency. Dula was late to the party watching center. So he had more inside on all of the symbolic historical pieces within the movie. We’ve been get to talk about concerts, and why Dula hates them so much, which led to a Beyoncé conversation. We ended off with questioning is Will Smith’s career as a superstar over at this point. Great conversation. Enjoy.
Back at it it’s Dula and myself. FYI, this episode was recorded the day before the verdict was red so we give our Diddy trial review up until that moment. We then have a quick conversation about Vanessa Bryant being pregnant. We then get into a discussion about DJ Khaled and should he speak up about Palestine or not. We then get into The New York mayor race and how everybody seems to be either in support of one side or you’re considered one of those names that I do not wish to post on here. We then get into the big conversation in regards to the war, etc., and morals about what’s right and wrong. Quick conversation about Kendrick and we give certain podcast their flowers. We then end off the episode with the two Jays sneaker saga. If you don’t know what we’re talking about listen and you will be very well informed. Enjoy.
This episode we start off with Abdullah and myself talking about the latest updates in the Diddy trial. At the time of this recording a verdict hasn’t been read yet, so if it comes down by the time, this releases that portion of this conversation won’t matter. We are then joined by what will soon to be the “tripping without the luggage podcast“ host, which is Kevy Kev and EDWARD GLOVER. We discuss a couple of different topics and bound a couple of creative ideas off of each other. Lots of tangents in between. Pardon a little bit of the technical difficulty during a portion of the call because of connection. But overall the good episode. Enjoy.

Hope everybody is enjoying the episodes. On this one. It’s just Dula and myself discussing a mirror out of topics. I gave my review on the GNX tour at Hershey Stadium. Dula goes off on a rant as usual about people and their eagles. We then have an Internet talk about influencers, etc. Great conversations. Enjoy.
This episode is special to me, because I haven’t spoken to this person in years. But when we cut the mic back on, it was like we never missed a beat. Ladies in gentlemen, I know him as Shommy on the beats. You guys know him as just Shommy the DJ. But we get into his coming up and how he and I first met through music. And how I taught him how to make beats in the beginning and how he took that and carried it over into his DJ and career, etc. We’ve vented into conversations about fatherhood since both of us only have one child,we talk do’s and don’ts of fatherhood. Was great catching up with a good friend of mine. Enjoy.
This episode. I am joined by Dujuan Dixon. Another Harrisburg, born and raised creative, who has always had a knack for comedy. From being a class clown to being a street Dude to using his humor and leadership skills to help others, Dujuan has created his own version of a living color called Hyenas Skits. We also joined by @ _real_lituation. A local female MC, Who chimed in on a couple of the topics that we discussed, including Harrisburg, politics, and mayoral race. Great conversation. Enjoy.
Quick episode this time fresh from the SkratchBastid Barbecue at Pier 31 or 56 Something at the Seaport in New York City, Dula, Dre, Marcos, and Myself. Do a quick recap fresh on the highway. Literally testing out these mini microphones in the car. Driving back to Pennsylvania from New York. We recap the events that happened, DJs, that Spawn, and celebrities we met. Quick little 30 minutes. Enjoy.
160 episodes in and still going. Consistency is key. Thank you to everybody who has been listening and subscribing and commenting. In today’s episode, which is one of the first episodes. I actually have a video for will be up on YouTube in the next week, I interview comedian comic actor, Kevy Kev, AKA, Kevin Williams Period. I’ve known Kevin since I was about 15 years old, and he was a menace on the school bus. He can out rank and “sleigh“ anybody on the bus. And he took that further, and has used it for his comedy. We get his origin stories of growing up in Harrisburg to getting involved in street Mass and his jail stick and how he progressed from that. A very good story. Shout out to EDWARD GLOVER for facilitating. Enjoy.
The phrase Jack of all trades master of Nun. It’s perfectly with EDWARD GLOVER. Well he’s actually a master of some of them. I get a complete origin story from him from graduating in 97 to working in banks to real estate music restaurants you name it. We also went on Facebook live which I’ve never done While recording. We also get into a little trauma about having your parents go to nursing homes. We then pick back up and start going into jokes and his comedy improv. Hilarious episode with one or two down segments. Enjoy.
