    Ivy Insights

    The New Old Heads Podcast is a must-listen for any hip hop enthusiast. Hosted by Maja 7th and Lonegevity, this podcast offers insightful discussions about hip hop past, present, and future. As someone who grew up with these hosts in the A (Atlanta), I may be biased, but I am incredibly proud of them for creating such an engaging show.

    One of the best aspects of The New Old Heads Podcast is the atmosphere it creates. The hosts are down-to-earth and experienced practitioners of the craft who take the subject matter seriously. This creates a genuine and enjoyable atmosphere where listeners feel like they are part of a conversation among friends. Additionally, the topics covered each week are consistently great, ensuring that there is always something interesting to listen to.

    Another aspect that sets this podcast apart is the knowledge and charisma of everyone involved. Each host brings their own expertise to the table, resulting in well-rounded conversations that touch on a variety of subjects within hip hop and its culture. It's refreshing to hear a podcast where differing opinions are welcomed and encouraged, as it leads to more nuanced discussions.

    However, as with any podcast, there may be some drawbacks. One potential downside is that if you are not familiar with certain inside jokes or references made by the hosts, you may feel left out at times. While this doesn't detract from the overall quality of the podcast, it can slightly lessen your enjoyment if you don't get every reference.

    In conclusion, The New Old Heads Podcast is a dope show that provides great insights into hip hop and its culture. The hosts' chemistry and knowledge make for an engaging listening experience that covers both old school and new school perspectives. Whether you're a fan of classic hip hop or interested in what's happening in the current scene, this podcast has something for everyone. Don't miss out on checking out their YouTube channel for video content as well!
