Silent G and Bloggy Bonilla are back this week with episode 48, after taking a little Spring Break last week. This time around, the guys check out the new 2 Chainz album, Collegrove. Essentially a collaborative record with Lil Wayne, Collegrove is only credited to 2 Chainz, however, because of various label politics. The album features a heavy hitting list of producers including Mannie Fresh, Mike Will Made It, Lil C, Metro Boomin, London on da Track, and others.The intro music is from Ethiopian electronic artist Mikael Seifu.The outro is from Slangston Hughes, who will be performing with his band, Fo on the Flo, alongside Skipp Coon and PyInfamous Friday night, March 18, at the Workshop in downtown Jackson. https://mikaelseifu.bandcamp.com/album/zelalemhttp://www.2chainz.com/https://slangstonhughes.bandcamp.com/If you want to keep up with an inordinate amount of new music, follow Silent G's 2016 Albums/EPs playlist on Spotify.https://open.spotify.com/user/garrad36/playlist/6nbyqZJoAA1JMrvzbDjjyPCheck out Bloggy Bonilla's website to see what he is enjoying day-to-day.http://keyb2lock.com/As always, follow us on http://dopemedianetwork.com/.

Few hip hop acts since The Roots have had the audacity to attempt live instruments as part of their brand, but Slangston fearlessly goes in with lyricism and showmanship. The key to his success isn't from traveling with a band, but recruiting talent from the cities he performs in to give his songs a local flair to wherever he is on stage. This is a unique approach to making music in a genre that usually puts a heavy emphasis on representation of an artist's specific hometown sound.Slangston Hughes will be performing this Thursday night at Pinhook in Durham (doors at 9pm), Friday night at Proof Five Points in Raleigh (doors at 9pm) with Eternal the MC for his “Age of Eternal” album release party, and a free show at Schoolkids Records on Saturday (starts at 6pm). Check out WKNC's podcast to hear the full interview with this artist who is sure to put on a great show alongside our city's strongest MCs.
