Before trap, crunk, bounce, or chopped & screwed—there was silence. The South was shut out, laughed at, and labeled too slow for the game. But in 1995, that changed.

In this debut episode of The Souf Got Something to Say, host Souf breaks down the roots of Southern hip hop, the disrespect it faced, and the moment OutKast’s Andre 3000 shook the industry with one line: “The South got something to say.”

Featuring quotes and insight from legends like Scarface, Pimp C, Big Boi, and Master P, this episode sets the tone for a series that goes deep into the culture, grind, and sound of the South.

Tap in. The South been had something to say.
