This week, Radio Labyrinth welcomes a dynamic lineup of guests into the Labyrinth! Joining us is none other than Detroit-born rapper, Stoop Lee, a rising star in the city's underground music scene. Stoop Lee's music is a captivating fusion of old soul and neo-soul, blending seamlessly with rap. His lyrics are enriched with nerdy and nostalgic references, creating a unique sonic experience. Rooted in a deep love for the music that inspired him, Stoop Lee's dreamy neo-soul sound pays homage to the late '90s and early 2000s. Take your favorite Saturday morning cartoon, a bowl of your favorite cereal, add some dope beats and you've captured the nostalgic experience that is stoop lee.” In this episode, we're joined by an old friend of the show and Steph's protege, Jason “The Kid,” who adds his own flair to the conversation. Together, we dive into Stoop Lee's journey, aspirations, and the influences that shape his artistic vision. Stoop Lee envisions a trajectory that balances mainstream success, drawing parallels to Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, with the underground legacy of artists like MF DOOM or RA the Rugged Man. His ultimate goal? A status akin to Tyler the Creator—achieving substantial fame while maintaining authenticity. But that's not all!

A tweet by RA the Rugged Man about producers not correctly labeling their beats when they send them to artists inspires today's conversation on why some succeed and some don't when it comes to beat selling.

Today we are joined with Jonas Govaerts who is the director of the absolutely insane action/comedy movie H4Z4RD. We do a deep dive behind the scenes of the films stunts, crazy dialog, "BANGIN" soundtrack, and what it was like to cast the world famous DJ Dimitri Vegas as the lead role. Outside of film making, Jonas is well known for his music videos with R.A. The Rugged Man, and shares some great tips to anyone who aspires to make videos. His infectious spirit shines bright and Jonas is an example of the amazing stuff you can make when you step out of your comfort zone on each project you do, and have the genuine intentions to make some cool sh*t!

The Rugged Man, churned out one of the most oddly brilliant cult films of the ‘00s. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blindragepod/message

Episode 78 is our 4th anniversary special. After the crazy year we've all had, it felt right to end 2020 with a TIP celebration. We've produced over 23 episodes, close to 90 hours of content, including 7 tributes, 2 album spotlights and some pretty memorable, informative and occasionally contentious interviews with artists like R.A. The Rugged Man, The Beatnuts, Spice 1, Jeru The Damaja, Ras Kass, Shawn J. Period, Meyhem Lauren, Apathy and Black muthafuckin' Thought of The Roots Crew! Whether it was our 5-part 1995 Tribute, our 6+ hour MF Doom tribute, The Remix Show or Justice For George, we tried to keep you entertained in every conceivable way throughout this taxing year. As many of your already know, an awful lot goes into creating each episode. No disrespect to those who strictly do interview shows or hop on Instagram Live for an hour, but we try to produce each show like a movie. In addition to those marathon-like interviews we do, we curate the music from the finest of hip-hop ingredients. From the selections to the sequencing to the mixing to the samples, our goal is to provide you a product that you'll listen to, not once, not twice, but frequently. It's easy to put out content these days, but the average consumer chews it up and spits it out, only to be forgotten a week later. But in a year from now, when you want to remind yourself what 1995 was like, or if you want to suggest to a friend why Black Thought is the GOAT, or tell a friend why MF DOOM is one of the important rappers of the last two decades, you have our shows for that. When you want to re-live classic albums like Street Level or The Sun Rises In The East and learn things we've never heard before directly from the artists themselves, then you have our album spotlights for that. When you only want to hear the very best remixes or collaborations, we got you covered. We are a hip-hop library; A time capsule and ultimately the most complete hip-hop show you've heard since the great Stretch & Bob days. Michael Jackson called himself the King of Pop. Howard Stern calls himself the King of all Media. On Take It Personal, we call ourselves the King of all Tributes. No other podcast or radio show for that matter is doing what we're doing. Tonight is a celebration for sure. For just one episode, we decided to do something totally off-course. You're going to hear some of our FAVORITE joints from the 80s. We're talking Tears For Fears, The Clash, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Pet Shop Boys, Naked Eyes, George Michael, Michael Jackson and much more. If you grew up in the 70s or an 80s baby like myself, you're going to love this show and play it over and over and over again! Thank you all for listening, supporting, and giving us a reason to produce the best hip-hop podcast we can make. Like the legendary Bret Hart says the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. Sincerely, Take It Personal Radio

West Coast artist/producer Locksmith has been putting in work since 2003 when he made it to MTV's MC Freestyle Championship. Which brought him out of the underground scene and gave him regional buzz.

Now he's wrapping up his headlining tour for his recently released album “Olive Branch.”In this interview, Locksmith talked about what it's like to be in the game for this long, and how the industry has changed.
