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!

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.

Happy October and happy UK Black History Month!

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.

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.

One of the mainstays of the burgeoning Hip-Hop Underground of the 00s and beyond, Sean Price was a reality rapper with plenty of humour, iconic one-liners and a discography that have aged pretty well.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:49)Ben:Memphis Bleek - Apt 3DChe Noir - The Color Chocolate 2Terrace Martin & Kenyon Dixon - Come As You AreDave East & Young Chris - Fine DiningDaz Dillinger - Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back 2Charlie:Ric Wilson - AMERICA RUNS ON DISCOJanset - Disruptivekwn - with all due respectChe Noir - The Color Chocolate 2Samara Cyn - backroadsLoyle Carner - hopefully !Nick Grant - I Took It PersonalTerrace Martin & Kenyon Dixon - Come As You Are Cam Be & Neak - a film called blackYaya Bey - do it afraid Marshall Allen - New DawnJoe Armon-Jones - All The Quiet (Part II)Robert Glasper - Let GoTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (20:13)Monkey Barz - (26:35)Jesus Price Supastar - (35:06)Mic Tyson - (47:48)Imperius Rex - (55:57) Lighter Note - (1:06:56) Thanks for listening.

G-Funk pioneer one of the most consistent dual artists in Hip-Hop history, it could be said that DJ Quik hasn't gotten the props his peers has, even though his quality of production and bars has (for the most part) been great, just as long as you jump over the mines labelled "Songs with oddly detailed sex bars".TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:49)Ben:Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 6Little Simz - LotusUntilJapan - tromp l'oeilCharlie:Common Saints - EquinoxIan Kelly & DJ D Sharp - Concrete OCEANVic Spencer & Bucky Luger - Interstate PotluckLittle Simz - LotusTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (15:14)Quik Is the Name - (21:35)Way 2 Fonky - (30:38)Safe + Sound - (33:42)Rhythm-al-ism - (37:37)Balance & Options - (42:20)Under tha Influence - (45:33)Trauma - (52:26)The Book of David - (56:15)The Midnight Life - (59:12)Lighter Note - (1:03:15)Thanks for listening.

The legacy of dead prez - for better or worse - has been condensed down to their classic track in "Hip Hop". Zoom out a little and you'll find a classic song on a classic album that is definitely not talked about enough. Zoom out even more and you find...

After calling it a day being "The Fresh Prince", Will Smith went under his own name for his solo stint. The results are mixed; proving that Hip-Hop could go Pop, but even then managing to have frequent misfires within his music, creating a frustrating discography that gives more questions than answers...TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:10)Ben:Amine - 13 Months of SunshineXzibit - KingmakerRico Nasty - LethalChuck D - Chuck D Presents Enemy Radio: Radio ArmageddonCharlie: Deema - 5Junii - JINX!MyCompiledThoughts - Kouri flowerovlove - summerovlove setlistChuck D - Chuck D Presents Enemy Radio: Radio ArmageddonTanika Charles - Reasons To StaySavannah Ré - FormedReuben James - Big People MusicTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:28) Big Willie Style - (20:15) Willenium - (31:28) Born To Reign - (40:56)Lost And Found - (50:32) Based on a True Story - (59:38)Lighter Note - (1:14:32) Thanks for listening.

The legendary duo of Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince have been somewhat locked into this singular thought ever since their run ended in '93: That their music is squeaky clean, completely devoid of edge. But when you actually listen to some of the lyrics and subject matter told in the litany of storytelling tracks, they broach some interesting ground.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:07)Ben:MIKE x Tony Seltzer - Pinball IIKey Glock - Glockaveli: The DonRoc Marciano x Knowledge the Pirate - The Round TableCharlie:Gaidaa - YARNNayla Savannah - Be FreeDARGZ - Friends & FamilyTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (8:18)Rock the House - (16:00)He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper - (26:26)And in This Corner... - (37:17)Homebase - (49:36)Code Red - (1:01:32)Lighter Note - (1:15:16)Thanks for listening.

Kendrick Vs Drake 1 Year Anniversary
The discography of Schoolly D is one of the most diverse and lengthy that we've ever covered on DITD. Where he begins providing the seeds of what eventually becomes known as "Gangsta Rap", he then goes through a more pro-Black phase in the 90s and nowadays operates as a relative experimentalist for somebody whose debut came out in 1985.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:15)Ben:Benny the Butcher - ExcelsiorYung Lean - JonatanJPEGMAFIA x Flume - We Live in a SocietyCharlie:Jericho Jackson - I Am HimAntsLive - Carpe Diem1999 WRITE THE FUTURE & The Pharcyde - TimelessRyder - RYDERHOODAlex Isley - WHENKatalyst - SpeakeasyVinocio - TostadosNejma Nefertiti - Jayne Wayne The JuggernautMychelle - Good DayWretch 32 - HOME?Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:40)Schoolly D - (23:50)Saturday Night! – The Album - (30:37)Smoke Some Kill - (33:20)Am I Black Enough for You? - (35:41)How a Black Man Feels - (40:39)Welcome to America - (44:45)Reservoir Dog - (50:22)International Supersport - (53:41)Cause Schoolly D Is Crazy - (57:27) Lighter Note - (1:04:22) Thanks for listening.
