Questlove Supreme: Larry Gold Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

This is a very special episode of Questlove Supreme. The episode takes us to Philadelphia where we recorded in Milkboy Studios formerly known famously as "The Studio" which was owned by one of the true musical treasures of Philadelphia, Larry Gold. Larry is an anomaly in the sense that his talent is not only essential to an iconic music movement (Gamble and Huff catalog) almost 50 years ago. His career peaked again 30 years later as he added his strings and string arrangements to some of the biggest songs and albums of the early 2000's. We are talking "The Boy is Mine" "Cry Me A River" , and from Graduation and 808's & Heartbreaks to MJ's "Scream" and a WHOLE lot in between. Let us not forget his work with the Root's and owning a studio where they would call home for over a decade. Needless to say there is a lot to talk about and learn from our friend Larry Gold. Enjoy

Questlove Supreme: Big Lez Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

In the words of Questlove, "Big Lez aka Leslie Segar is LEGEND....DARY!" To paraphrase him, Big Lez has been a monumental and unavoidable figure in the music diaspora since she hit the scene in the 90's. And when she hit she hit hard! Her dance moves evolved from your favorite Hip Hop video, to Remembering the Time with Michael Jackson, the opening intro of your favorite 90's TV show and beyond. That "beyond" turned out to be Lez's hugely impactful career as a TV host. Listen as Quest and Team Supreme dive into this essential Hip Hop story that shook up the world.

Questlove Supreme: Todd Rundgren Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

In the words of Questlove, Todd Rundgren is " an unsung creative maniac excelling in songwriting, production and engineering, with techniques and ideas that were seeded and planted over 50 years ago of which we are still trying to unfurl to this day. He crawled so artists like Radiohead, Prince, Thunderkat and all stops in between can fly. He pushes the artistic envelope, which is a major understatement. " Listen as Quest and Team Supreme dive into the story of the innovator known as Tood Rundgren.
