The 1st woman to put out an album under Def Jam, Nikki D seemingly had one of the biggest labels of her time behind her; with an absurd 10 album deal on deck.

With the one and only Jermaine Cole now "retired" (We don't believe in artists retiring) after the release of The Fall Off, we thought we'd contextualise Cole's career as a whole.

Whilst the music of C-N-N was pretty straight forward, N.O.R.E's solo work skews a little different. From mainstream 00s Hip-Hop to Reggaeton, N.O.R.E took his solo work as an opportunity to be more personal.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:15)Ben:Jill Scott - To Whom This May ConcernCharli XCX - wuthering heightsRobbie Williams - BRITPOPTiana Major9 - November ScorpioElla Mai - do you still love me?Colin Stetson - NetheringBaby Keem - Ca$inoLarry June x Currensy & Alchemist - Spiral StaircaseCharlie:Marco Polo - The Many Moods of Marco Polo Vol. 1AntsLive - We LiveTerrace Martin - PEACE Tiana Major9 - November ScorpioRas Kass - LEOPARD EATS FACEJill Scott - To Whom This May ConcernTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (13:10)N.O.R.E. - (18:33)Melvin Flynt – Da Hustler - (28:23)God's Favorite - (36:28)N.O.R.E. y la Familia...Ya Tú Sabe - (44:01)Noreality - (51:01)Student of the Game - (56:48)5E - (1:02:05)Lighter Note - (1:07:30)Thanks for listening.

In just five years, BROCKHAMPTON became a Hip-Hop comet, shooting by with seven albums and it could've been more! With those works, they went from free-wheeling Mixtape-sounding albums to more mature works lyrically and sonically.

KILLA. Whilst he's now in his talking head era - like most rappers it seems - Cam'ron was an ever-present voice in the 00s Hip-Hop scene. One could say his music is the perfect charting of where the 00s sound was at any given year, with his lyrical content staying steady in the good ol' "Money, hoes & drugs" bag.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:14)Ben:A$AP ROCKY - Don't Be DumbCharlie:Jada Freeman - THE WAY LOVE GOESBXKS - FEAR OF ECLIPSESamm Henshaw - Could Be WorseA$AP ROCKY - Don't Be DumbTopic Intro/Ben's research House - (8:21)Confessions of Fire - (14:48)S.D.E. - (19:55)Come Home with Me - (25:23)Purple Haze - (31:30)Killa Season - (38:30)Crime Pays - (43:59)Purple Haze 2 - (49:06)Lighter Note - (57:35)Thanks for listening.

The man who helped start Bad Boy Records, only to take himself out of it and eventually take himself out of music entirely, the life of Craig Mack is a sad one overall.

From their inventive D.A.I.S.Y. Age run to their new (& probably last) opus dropped last week, the career of De La Soul is unlike any other in Hip-Hop history.

The solo discography of Prodigy is all over the place to put it lightly.

At 21 years old, two rappers from Queens dropped one of the greatest albums in music history. But some forget that "The Infamous" wasn't Mobb Deep's beginning (Literally!

We finish our UKBHM series for the month of October with an artist of recent memory to see how Hip-Hop and the sheer amount of genre-bleeding in the early 2010s was displayed in spectacular fashion from Tinie Tempah, who went from Underground Grime MC to the most famous UK rapper in the space of a year and kept that title until Stormzy dropped "Vossi Bop".TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:05)Ben:Dave - The Boy Who Played the Harp Charlie:Nappy Nina - Sweets For CynicsPlanet Giza - The Sky Is Recording Me: 100 Years Later, Vol. 3Katori Walker - The War WithinJayaHadADream - Happiness From AgonyNiko Is. & J.

Credit to the Nation - led by West Midlands native MC Fusion - was a clear-cut child of Public Enemy but compared to another PE child in Hijack, CTTN was probably more blunt in leftist messaging (akin to Sistah Souljah) along with Brummie & Patios accents to add texture to the unique nature of Fusion and his crew.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:53)Ben:Tame Impala - DeadbeatCharlie:Chronixx - ExileCharlotte Dos Santos - Neve AzulCurren$y - 10/15Adrian Younge & Carlos Dafé - Carlos Dafé JID025 7xvethegenius - Self 7xve 3Monaleo - Who Did The BodyTame Impala - Deadbeat Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (15:17) Take Dis - (20:52)Daddy Always Wanted Me to Grow a Pair of Wings - (31:13) Mad Dogs and Englishmen - (38:11) Lighter Note - (50:23) Thanks for listening.

Yorkshire outfit Unique 3 made waves in the dawn of the 90s with a new subgenre "Bleep Techno", the first homegrown EDM subgenre in the UK.

Happy October and happy UK Black History Month!

The Brooklyn-based Hip-Hop group Stetsasonic were one of the premier innovators of the 80s. At any given moment you could hear live instrumentation, sampling and beat-boxing. You could also hear elements of Jazz, R&B, Reggae & Rock.

The brothers in Prince Be & DJ Minutemix that make up the duo P.M Dawn have been - in hindsight - a marketing casualty. They forever hold the record of being the first African American Hip-Hop act to get No.1 on Billboard. But whilst that track & their debut album traffic in a Hip-Hop fusion, their works after that lean much more into R&B, creating a discography built on fluidity, deep lyrics and unfortunately, an American audience that probably never understood them.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:48)Ben:Curren$y - 8/30Charlie:Yeza & Rorystonelove - Star Of The EastBraxton Cook - Not Everyone Can GoAmaarae - BLACK STARRich Brian - WHERE IS MY HEAD?Robert Glasper - Code Derivation Shing02 - 抒情詩歌/JOJOSHIKAD Smoke - Wake Up SupaRuby Francis - Pages of PhilosophyRakim - The RE-UP Nova Twins - Parasites & Butterflies Chip Wickham - The Eternal NowEl Michels Affair - 24 Hr SportsCurren$y - 8/30Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:37)Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience - (20:18)The Bliss Album...? - (31:39)Jesus Wept - (40:34)Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here.

'Britain is back on the world stage' said Prime Minister Keir Starmer in May following the first UK-EU summit since the UK left the EU in January 2020. Outline agreements were reached to remove red tape for British farm exports and energy trading with the EU as well as plans for a security and defence partnership. Then a few weeks later the Prime Minister held summits in London with first the French President, Emmanuel Macron and then the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz. David Aaronovitch asks whether this is the beginning of a new closer relationship with the European Union and if so, what compromises might need to be made.Guests: Peter Foster, World Trade Editor of the Financial Times Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government Anand Menon, Director of the UK in a Changing Europe Mujtaba Rahman, Managing Director for Europe at Eurasia Group ConsultancyPresenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Ben Carter and Kirsteen Knight Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Studio engineers: Callum Mclean and James Beard Editors: Richard Vadon and Lisa Baxter

It's been 3 1/2 years since Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of its Ukrainian neighbour. Ukraine's capacity to resist has depended on two things: its own will to fight and support from its allies. Until January this year the US was one of those allies. Then things changed. But in the last week President Trump seems to have taken a turn against Russia. The US president said he was “very unhappy” with President Putin over the lack of progress towards a ceasefire agreement to end the war in Ukraine. On Monday the White House announced 100 per cent tariffs on countries which do business with Russia - those tariffs to begin in 50 days time unless a ceasefire with Ukraine is agreed. President Trump also announced that the US would be sending weapons to Ukraine which NATO allies - and not America - would pay for. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss whether the tide is turning in the Trump-Putin relationship and if this could change the course of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Guests: Paul Adams, BBC World Affairs Correspondent Anton Grushetskyi, Executive director Kyiv International Institute of Sociology Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor, The Economist Angela Stent, Senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former US National Intelligence Officer for RussiaPresenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Ben Carter and Kirsteen Knight Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Studio engineers: Tom Bartlett and Alyson Purcell-Davis Editor: Richard Vadon
