We got DJ Premier, Royce da 5'9" and Adrian Younge to sit in with us on this special in studio listening session of their album 'PRhyme', which is very dope. Hear what that have to say about this project.

The LL Cool J Episode Dec 09, 2014

Show notes

We couldn't end this year right without having the G.O.A.T. on. How he survived an abusive upbringing, studied his craft with early rap pioneers in the same rap dojo with Kool G. Rap, becoming the foundation stone that became Def Jam, building with Queens' street legends, battling this rapper, that rapper and Jay Z, why he didn't sign management with Diddy, the "Accidental Racist" thing, flipping burglars in his castle and the victory of seeing his wife survive Cancer, its all here and more. From Hollis to Hollywood, this episode is most certainly blowticious. LL Cool J will forever remain hard as hell. Pause.

The Raymond Santana The Central Park 5 Episode Dec 02, 2014

Show notes

Always wanted to rap to these brothers. Looking at all their interviews, all we get is the tragedy that was their experience. Raymond Santana shares how fun it was as a kid growing up in Harlem during the late 1980’s. Then the horror. And how he became a part of the “crime of the century”. And of course, his redemption and triumphs. With the recent epidemic of police on Black murders, this story of how 5 innocent children were railroaded by #MyNYPD should be a reminder for us all to always #StayWoke. This might be The Combat Jack Show’s proudest moment for 2014.

Rick talks of growing up a die hard rap fan of some our lyrical greats, his unappreciated skill as a song writer/ ghostwriter, his relationships with Jay Z and Diddy and the books he reads to keep his mind focused.

The Return Of Bomani Jones Episode Nov 18, 2014

Show notes

The good homie talks how he ended up at ESPN2, his 30 for 30 doc 'Rand University', racism in Miami, the Charlemagne and Ma$e encounter from a few weeks more, Artie Lange's recent meltdown, whether Lord Jamar is the Pras of Brand Nubian, Big KRIT and more. This one here is all types of hilarious. So glad to see Bomani shining and #winning.

The Jermaine Dupri Episode Live From Tree Sound Studios Oct 21, 2014

Show notes

JD's Hip Hop pedigree is so official. 30 plus years of history here. Who else can wax so poetically about the 1980's Fresh Fest, Kriss Kross, Jay Z and the ascension of the South musically? This live episode recorded at Tree Sound Studios in Atlanta, Georgia was so official. Plus, Mr. Dupri opens up about his relationship with Janet Jackson. This is a guaranteed So So Def episode. #Salutes to Groove Chambers and Mali Hunter for making this happen.

The 9th Wonder Live @ A3C Episode Oct 16, 2014

Show notes

Live from Atlanta, at the tenth anniversary of the #A3c Music Festival, we finally caught up with producer and Harvard scholar 9th Wonder where he share his incredible story about leading a scene in North Carolina with the incredible Little Brother crew to not giving Jay Z a track he had for his own group. The breakup with Phonte and Big Pooh, making hits for Destiny's Child and why he's going so hard for his Jamla Records premier artist Rapsody, why he really wants to collaborate with Rich Homie Quan and of course, his journey in becoming a professor at Harvard University. This was truly an honor building with 9th and I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
