This week we're kicking off our fourth bracket tournament, and this time we're collectively deciding on the greatest hip-hop producer of all-time. While you fill out your brackets (see the above link), we figured it was a good time to discuss some of the producers listed here (and those that did not make the cut). Sean, producer Optiks, and emcee MidaZ the BEAST get deep in the bracket trenches. We also take some of your submissions.

Mic King vs Trox Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

It's a battle royale featuring rapper Mic King (FKA iCon the Mic King) and producer Trox (50 Cent, YBN Cordae, Snoop Dogg, Ty Farris). The duo recently put out the 'iCONIC' EP, a collaboration whose innovative iterative release mirrors that of a software or subscription, allowing fans to purchase on Bandcamp and receive updated versions of the record as they come. These two storied underground music vets duke it out in a battle to see who knows the most random hip hop trivia.
