Well, this took a while!! Yeah, we still around. Other opportunities knocked at our door which kept us busy but we wanted to hit you all off with some current bangers that have kept our heads nodding as we enter the summer months! The Griselda team hit us off with some joints, along with Your Old Droog, Phonte, Curren$y x Statik Selektah, Salaam Remi x Terrace Martin and Jim Jones(!). Plenty of new cats on the scene (YBN Cordae, Marlon Craft, Flee Lord and Viva Mescal) that you need to know about. We also honor the greatness of both Bushwick Bill and Nipsey Hussle. Great losses to the culture. We have with us special guests Chris, Evelyn, and Jo to bring added perspective and fun and alcohol to the convo! Enjoy our #60 ep!

Better late than never! It took us a minute to work this next one out since it was definitely difficult to narrow down our 2018 year-end episode! The diversity in sound could be heard in many ways. From the lesser known (L’Orange, Benny and Hermit and the Recluse), consistent year after year (Royce 5’9, Curren$y and 9th Wonder) to MVP candidates (Evidence, Skyzoo, Phonte and Masta Ace/Marco Polo). Diverse sounds with all dope results. 2018 was a win for us. HipHop is safe. Enjoy the ep. Peace to Mac Miller.

We mix two of our loves on this next Six In the Morning Ep: Beats and Brew! We are joined by the connoisseur of many things, Serge (peep him also at Dude From LA Podcast! dudefromla.com Insta: @sergeguz) to talk about his favorite brews, flex his beer muscle through trivia and simply share from his extensive experiences in the brew game and beyond.

We bless you with newer talent who represent brew nicely including Fel Sweetenberg, MentPlus and Willie Evans, Jr. What, you thought we weren’t playing DOOM too?!?

Who are some of the best Bo Jackson’s in the game? You know, producer-rappers? What we do know here at Six in the Morning is that there is not enough attention placed on how hard it is to do both and do it well. We are joined by the homies Matthew and Jason who share some of their own favorite multidimensional HipHop talent. We hear from some classic works from DOOM, J Dilla, Xtra P (Large Professor) and Diamond D. We also hear from some of the younger cats doing it like Oddisee, Jonwayne, and J Cole. Plenty of opinions all around but we all know that this ep has dope music all around. Enjoy. Peace to Mac Miller.
