Is The Backrooms movie actually worth your time? We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether this adaptation captures what made the original creepypasta so unsettling.

The duo of Blu & Exile came together out of orbiting similar circles in an 00s Underground that didn't have a 1 MC, 1 Producer duo of note. They in turn created a cult classic out the gates. Now - after an eight year hiatus in the middle - they're creating what could be considered their best work.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:00)Ben:JPEGMAFIA - Experimental RapNeurosis - An Undying Love for a Burning WorldDigitalism - OptimismBoards of Canada - InfernoCharlie:Evidence & Monday Night - FootballSylvan LaCue - Hoarding: A Memoir by Sylvan LaCue38 Spesh - 8 ShotsHarvs Le Toad - Between Lilypadsheavensouls - westside trappedJada & S14H - THE ZENITHJon Onabowu - Now's The Time IYAMAH - chapter fiveJalen N'Gonda - Doctrine of LoveVince Staples - Cry BabyLabrinth - COSMIC OPERA ACT IITopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (19:54)Below the Heavens - (26:03)Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them - (43:28)Miles: From an Interlude Called Life - (52:25)Love (the) Ominous World - (1:04:50)Time Heals Everything - (1:10:07)Lighter Note - (1:17:02) Thanks for listening.

In a DITD/WG double up, I talk to DJ & author Amani Roberts off the back of his book The Quiet Storm. In this talk, we get to know his background, his roots in DJing; how the book originated from a thesis, R&B and Hip-Hop groups; African-American Media and we finish off with a Lighter Note and a Top 5! Don't say I don't spoil you!Weekly Music Roundup:Charlie:Vic Spencer - Inspire Your IdolsDua Saleh - Of Earth & WiresNick Grant - Smile Nappy Nina & Swarvy - Sow & SoTank And The Bangas - The Last BalloonBrother Wallace - Electric Love Jasmine Myra - Where Light SettlesPsyché - Psyché II Thanks for listening.

After exploring Pharoahe Monch last week, we now get into his pre-solo life with Prince Po as the duo Organized Konfusion. Three albums with unfaltering production, dexterous lyrics and flows that need to be heard to truly understand how good these two were as a rap duo.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:01)Ben:Isaiah Rashad - IT'S BEEN AWFULBilly Danze - The AnswerNEMS - I Should Boom YouCharlie:India Shawn - Subject To ChangeTiara Thomas - Make It Make SenseCurren$y, Wiz Khalifa & Harry Fraud - Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 1Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa & Harry Fraud - Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 2Oddisee & Heno. - From Takoma With LoveOpek - TRAFOIsaiah Rashad - IT'S BEEN AWFULKehlani - KehlaniTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (19:17)Organized Konfusion - (20:25) Stress: The Extinction Agenda - (39:41) The Equinox - (51:46) Lighter Note - (1:05:31) Thanks for listening.

If you're like most people and only familiar with Pharoahe Monch when "Simon Says" is played, you're actually missing one of the clearest paths of evolution from a rapper in terms of subject matter and maturity as an artist.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:20)Ben:Blu & Exile - Time Heals EverythingKehlani - KehlaniAkon - BEAUTIFUL DAYREASON - Moving Towards Love_PINKCharlie:Joya Mooi - All The ThingsJordan Rakei - Between UsAgnes Nunes - NovelaMary Ann Alexander - Love Or A LessonOlivia Escuyos - Yours TrulyGuvna B - This Bed I MadeApril + Vista - Traditional NoiseJai'Len Josey - Serial RomanticREASON - Moving Towards Love_PINKAnthony Joseph - The ArkTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:09)Internal Affairs - (22:10) Desire - (38:59) W.A.R.

We are finally back after an unfortunate absence to talk about Super Mario Galaxy

RZA has always been a busy man and it was no different in the 90s where he featured in supergroup Gravediggaz - birthed by at-the-time veteran of the industry Prince Paul - unleashing a Horrorcore group with an essential debut, only for the 2nd & 3rd albums to change up in subject matter and in the end only containing Poetic & Frukwan that kept the group alive.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:56)Ben:NugLife - The Beat Dispensary 4Red Cafe - Once in a Red MoonHus KingPin - THREESOME 6Flee Lord - Everything I Never SaidBTS - ARIRANGU2 - Easter Lily EPM.I.A. - M.I.7Yaya Bey - FidelityCharlie:Adrian Younge - Younge Jesirae - Mama It's A Renaissance S.

We finally get to Part 2 of our J. Cole retrospective. (Listen to Part 1 here) Whilst the first half of his discography speak for themselves, Cole finishes his stretch of solo albums with a litany of appearances outside of the albums that unfortunately colour his works, culminating in a discography that - whilst unmistakably Cole - is riddled with artistic potholes. TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:58)Charlie:Xzibit, B-Real & Demrick - This Thing Of OursArima Ederra - A Rush To Nowhere TrueMendous & Bear. - Break Offline, Before I Have a Breakdown OnlineWesley Joseph - Forever Ends SomedaySURF GANG - POMPEII // UTILITY Raye - THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (10:54)4 Your Eyez Only - (13:09) KoD - (26:14) The Off-Season - (37:39)The Fall Off - (47:37) Lighter Note - (1:09:43) Thanks for listening.

On April 10th, we celebrated our 7th anniversary! To celebrate - emphasising the education we've given ourselves over the years - we picked seven albums that we probably would've never spun if it weren't for the Podcast.Happy birthday to us!

Continuing our Women's History Month celebrations (We know it's April, let it ride) with a duo in BWP - Bytches With Problems - that only had one album but with the content so brash, in your face and to the point, it's sad that this isn't a work that is celebrated more.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:59)Ben:Yeat - ADLFetty Wap - ZavierChief Keef - SkeletorMaster Peace - Stupid KidsThe Dandy Warhols - Pin UpsKim Gordon - PLAY MECharlie:Lava La Rue - Do You Know Everything?Bnnyhunna - PSALM FUNKJah9 - Open Heart ProjectHappy Garden - HAPPY GARDENrum.gold - Is There Anybody Home? Elmeine - sounds for someoneLyriqs - Nobody's ListeningIrreversible Entanglements - Future Present PastNubiyan Twist - Chasing ShadowsTom Misch - Full CircleErica Mason - The ReturnAlexander IV - Alchemist Sly Johnson - MISTER JOHNSONAdrian Quesada - Trio AsesinoAtabasca - AtabascaTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (20:38)The Bytches - (23:05)Lighter Note - (49:11)Thanks for listening.

Continuing with our Women's History Month, an eventual casualty of a mans brief but beautiful light. Tied on the rocket that was MC Hammer, Oaktown 3.5.7 - comprised of backup singers Sweet L.D. Terrible T & Lil P - was purposefully similar sonically to Salt N Pepa. Whilst they had a couple of hits, one of them departing after their debut led to Oaktown 3.5.7 ending just as quickly as they began.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup: (00:50)Ben:Mike Will Made It - R3SETYour Boy Posca x Boldy James - Hook, Line & SinkerLadytron - ParadisesKiLLOWEN - Addicted to NostalgiaDappled Cities - The AquariumCharlie:Kid Cudi - HAVE U BN 2 HEAVEN @ NITE?Master Peace - Stupid KidsThe Lasso - MIDNIGHT CHOPPERSThe Lasso - TEARS OF SOUNDTerrace Martin - PERSPECTIVE Samara Cyn - DetourBigXthaPlug, Ro$ama, MurdaGang PB & Yung Hood - 6WA Lebra Jolie - Better Than Yesterday Iris Gold - Sugar On My LipsKota The Friend - LOCAL ART DEALER, Vol. 1Selah Sue & The Gallands - Movin'Hempress Sativa & Paolo Baldini DubFiles - WomanTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (18:56) Wild & Loose - (26:26) Fully Loaded - (39:38) Lighter Note - (51:25) Thanks for listening.

Continuing our WHM celebrations, we take a look at 00s Underground talent Apani B. Fly. Where the mainstream was going one way, Apani & her cohorts in the Polyrhythm Addicts shunned the commodification of Hip-Hop, staying sonically in the 90s whilst producing riveting lyrics.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:59)Ben: Bruiser Wolf - Push & PaintELUCID - I Guest U Had to Be ThereJack Harlow - MonicaMs Banks - SOUTH LDN LOVER GIRLCities Aviv - Even Colder SpringCharlie:Zion I Kings - Fruits Ripe RiddimAmy Gadiaga - BabyGoatedCharlotte Colace - No Way But ThroughKiLLOWEN - Addicted To NostalgiaMorenike - Nobody Knows My NameSade Olutola - Arrow HeartModha - At Your PaceMarquis Hill - (Beautifulism) Sweet SurrenderPeter Somuah - Walking Distance Olive Jones - For MaryMs Banks - SOUTH LDN LOVER GIRLTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (17:31)Rhyme Related - (20:51)Story 2 Tell - (33:30)Lighter Note - (48:21)Thanks for listening.

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.

In just five years, BROCKHAMPTON became a Hip-Hop comet, shooting by with seven albums and it could've been more!

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. His music left behind after his death in 2018 was serviceable, topped off with an iconic track of the 90s.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:01)SAULT - Chapter 1Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (4:27)Project: Funk Da World - (9:00)Operation: Get Down - (18:50)The Mack World Sessions - (29:23)Lighter Note - (37:51)Thanks for listening.

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.

Going back to maybe the best Super Hero movie of all time!

Whilst Prodigy made a genuine attempt to put out solo bodies of work outside of Mobb Deep business, Havoc took until 2007 to drop his first solo record and it wasn't until his third album that he actually put effort into it all.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:35)Ben:Danny Brown - StardustCharlie:Ukweli & Xenia Mannasseh - MAYBE IIREASON - Everything In My Soul_BLUEBLK ODYSSY - MOOD CONTROLKaicrewsade - Joint4u!Flwr Chyld - InsydeOutKhruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You iiDanny Brown - StardustKofi Stone - All The Flowers Have BloomedCHIKA - WISH YOU WERE (T)HERE p-rallel - SELECTAChe Noir & 7xvethegenius - Desired CrownsTOBi & Real Bad Man - The Perfect BlueTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (13:59)The Kush - (18:53)Hidden Files - (25:06)13 - (32:04)13 Reloaded - (38:54)Lighter Note - (48:09)Thanks for listening.

We finally talk about the movie Weapons and BOY do we have thoughts!

The solo discography of Prodigy is all over the place to put it lightly. A great debut, a surprisingly good sophomore and then a stretch of albums that go from love songs to dark, philosophical work with a healthy dose of illuminati talk throughout.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:20)Charlie:Tara Lilly - Quiet Nights (Early Takes)Treasure Bloom - Garden of HedonAlemeda - But What The Hell Do I Knowrum.gold - Is There Anybody Home?

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!

This week I make Kris watch Train to Busan for the first time!

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.

This week we head back to Gotham as we rewatch The Batman

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.

This week we check out the Netflix original thriller/horror movie "Its Whats Inside"

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. Their subsequent debut album blended not just their pioneering sound but also blended Hip-Hop to create a sound that was... Well...

This week we look back at the movie Seven and try to find an album that matches the answer might surprise you!

Happy October and happy UK Black History Month! Our first of four retrospectives this month is dedicated to two sisters that fused Hip-Hop with the burgeoning UK House/Acid House movement of the late 80s/early 90s whilst also paying homage to their Caribbean roots through the music and most notably their memorable name.TIMESTAMPSWeekly Music Roundup - (0:52)Charlie:She Who Won't Be Named - From She Withnineteen97 - CUDDABEENA*Barney Artist - They Changed When I DidMick Jenkins & EMIL - A MURDER OF CROWSJaydonclover - a constant state of blueMyka 9, Blu & Mono En Stereo - God Takes Care Of Babies & FoolsSven Wunder - DaybreakDizzy Wright & Kxvi - Soul SearchingAnaiis - Devotion & The Black DivineSay She She - Cut & Rewind Alfa Mist - RouletteTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:26)The Beat, The Rhyme, The Noise - (19:33) Be Aware - (30:28) Lighter Note - (42:58) Thanks for listening.

We are starting a new format this week! Reviewing a movie then pairing an album with it, this week we have One Battle After Another with Jay Z's 4:44 album

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. Considering their era, the creative foundations they laid is undeniable.Weekly Music Roundup - (0:42)Charlie:Kairos The Writer - AND I STILL LOVEFloFilz - HagakiOl' Burger Beats - 74: Out of Time (Reimagined)Vic Spencer - Trees Are UndefeatedKojey Radical - Don't Look DownMega - I Am EnoughMnelia - COMPLICATED.A-F-R-O - AFRODEEZEAK 3Sol ChYld - Rebirth.TheoryVerbz & Mr Slipz - THE WAY FWDCARRTOONS - Space CadetLady Wray - Cover GirlDurand Jones & The Indications - FlowersJohn Wells - I don't wanna die (Pt. 1)Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (13:45) On Fire - (20:51) In Full Gear - (31:04) Blood, Sweat & No Tears - (43:47)Here We Go Again - (55:38) Lighter Note - (1:07:33) Thanks for listening.

The 00s was a unique moment in Hip-Hop history and American culture at large.

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.
