Hey guys, I'm Freddy Lloyd, the host of this new podcast. As I'm writing this description, I haven't really found a name to this podcast but it does have a theme. With this platform we will be covering "The Culture" from different angles and through different players at all levels. The goal is to sit with people who are shifters in their own rights and who leave cultural impact. For our pilot episode none other than my fellow podcaster and homie Renzel Dashington from the Céréal Killers Podcast. As a longtime player in showbiz, we sat down and spoke about our place in the industry in Quebec and also hip hop's place in it. We then shift the conversation to an incident that happened on Montreal airwaves which pushed Renzel to take a stand against racism. Hope you enjoy it
