We back again. This time we got A&R/Producer for Soul Temple Records and Senior Art Director for Koch/eOne Music Mr. Andrew Kelley (aka Mr. Hat Trick). We get into all things Wu and discuss the sound of the latest Ghostface Killah album “Twelve Reasons To Die.” We talk about the amazing Adrian Younge and how he achieved that authentic ‘classic’ sound, what is Venice Dawn, the origins of the Brown Tape and upcoming Wu-Tang projects. Plus new releases for June, Jamaican butlers and what you can expect to find in Redman’s trunk. You can reach Andrew Kelley @andrewkelley47 and be sure to get that new Ghostface album. It is a keeper! Special thanks to our partners Brooklynradio.com and IshLabs.

We upgraded the sound and are now recording at IshLabs located in downtown Brooklyn. For our inaugural show we discuss influence, in particular, the influence hip-hop has had on us. We talk about the significance of Jay-Z making TIME’s Most Influential People in the World list, how hip-hop changed our fashion sense, which eras had the most influence on us and whether hip-hop can remain an influential culture in the modern “rap IS pop music” era. All that, plus hip-hop tour updates for the summer, Rick Ross and Griddy’s TV reviews. New studio, same show, more brown liquor. Special thanks to our partners Brooklynradio.com and IshLabs!
