whoever running this need to BE FIRED...!!!!!

For the first show of 2022, Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @dj-spinna-1, the legendary hip hop and deep house innovator from Brooklyn, NYC.

For 30 years Spinna has been a vital part of his hometown’s music legacy. He launched his recording career as a member of the underground hip hop group Jigmastas, before going on to work with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, and De La Soul. In addition, he has made his mark as a solo artist, releasing benchmark albums like “Here to There“ from 2002, as well as countless e.p.’s, compilations and remixes for legends and stars like Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Mary J. Blidge, or Steve Wonder.

Since his earliest days, he has been known as an eclectic dj, playing music at the cross-section of hip hop, house, soul, r&b, funk, and jazz. He is also an early proponent of parties dedicated to one artist. His “WONDER-full” DJ nights dedicated to Steve Wonder, and his “Soul Slam” events, better known as the “Michael Jackson VS Prince” parties, became celebrated gatherings all over the USA.
 
For Carhartt WIP Radio DJ Spinna has conducted a mix, which he describes as “time traveling through my early days of underground hip hop with my group Jigmastas and releases from our Beyond Real label, [before] journeying on with some of my earlier remix works and showing my evolution into House Music.”  

As ever, we also sat down with this month’s host, discussing DJ Spinna's artistics origins, influences, and his soulful attitude towards his DJ craft. Check the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

The host for this month’s edition of Carhartt WIP Radio is @flohiomusic, the dynamic London-based rapper who first made waves in 2016 with her debut EP Nowhere Near, and gained further acclaim with the release of her EP Wild Yout in 2018. 

Flohio’s style is inimitable, her production choices ever expansive. Previously working with the likes of Modeselektor, JETS, and L-Vis 1990, the artist’s body of work demonstrates her ability to cut through a range of genres, from experimental electronic to high-octane hip hop. Her upcoming album “Out of Heart”, out on 7th October, sees her working again with leftfield production duo @god-colony. 

Featured as part of Carhartt WIP’s Fall/Winter 2022 campaign, Flohio appears alongside NTS WIP artist Tweaks, London rapper Lord Apex, and the Carhartt WIP skate team in a series of images that zero in on the brand’s roots in music and skateboarding. This isn’t the first time Flohio has collaborated with the brand. In 2017 she featured in 2117, a publication which celebrated the iconic chore coat.

In this episode, Flohio has prepared a show with God Colony in which the group discusses the making of her debut album, while playing some exclusive teaser tracks from the LP.

When Detroit native John Derek Yancey, better known as Illa J, released his album "Home,” in 2017, it was partly an act of self-affirmation for the rapper-slash-singer. As the younger brother of hip hop legend J Dilla, who tragically passed away in 2006, the 32-year-old artist has spent much of his career in the shadow of his illustrious sibling – even playing a bit-part role in Slum Village after Dilla’s death. Around 2014, he eventually parted with the crew and moved to Montreal where he would hone his artistic skillset, free from the influence of his native Detroit peers. On returning to his hometown, he went straight to the studio to record “Home.” It was the album that would see him step out of his brother’s shadow for the first time, showcasing his talent not simply as a rapper, but as an accomplished, ambitious vocalist. Last November he released his latest album, the eponymously titled “John Yancey.” It’s one which oscillates more sharply between R&B and hip hop, delivering twelve songs of wispy vocals and breathless raps. For Carhartt WIP Radio, Yancey has selected some of his tunes, that DJ Glenn Astro put together to showcase the eclectic nature of his work, from that raw rap talent shown on his first album – the 2008 release “Yancey Boys” – to a more mature, mellow artist a decade on.

As usual, we also sat down with the artist, to discuss music, family, his hometown and why people from Detroit have such a special affinity for Prince. Make sure to check out the full interview on our Carhartt WIP website and enjoy the music.
