Dad Bod Rap Pod

Naw, you aint trippin'

We do have an abiding curiosity about all things Chicago rap. It is for these reasons we were geeked to have the multi-faceted Alexander Fruchter (like hookter) join us for a proper nerd out. Alexander has moved deftly between the roles of DJ, writer, and label head for many yes. His Closed Sessions imprint is the artistic home for several aritsts we dig (Defcee, Kipp Stone, Boathouse). In this interview Alexander talks about the origin of Closed Sessions, meeting Defcee, and his new dinner/conversation series Legends.

During the into Nate and Demone wax nostalgic about the best albums of the pandemic (cause that's over now right?).

This year is flying by! Can y'all believe we are already at the quarter poll of 2023. The pandemic is over (supposedly) but the rap virus continues to spread. There were so many releases no sane person could keep up with them all. But no worries, the dad bods are not regular. They listened to a ton of rap releases in the first months of the year and they gather this week to share their findings.

What were the stand out releases, biggest surprises, and bitter disappointments? Tune in to find out.

Episode 267 Button Mashin' with guest Jel of Anticon

Who doesn't love a good listicle?

The great Nate Le Blanc once said that arguing is the 6th element of Hip Hop and what generates more arguments than a Rolling Stone list of the top 100 West Coast rap songs. On this week's episode the three bad brothers you know so well audit the Rolling Stone list and break down the defining characteristics of West Coast rap.

The guest for episode 267 is producer Jel from Anticon. Jel talks to Nate, Dave, and Demone about the Anitcon origin story, how he got started as a producer, and the slew of new projects he is set to release.
