BANG! @southernvangard #radio brings you the DJ 7L #interview session! 1/2 of 7L & Esoteric, 1/3 of CZARFACE - we continue to bring you that raw! We get into a LOT of CZARFACE goodness with our friend George, including origins of the group name, the long standing relationship with Inspectah Deck, and how all of the crazy collabs came together on the 2nd CZARFACE LP, such as MF DOOM and Large Professor. We also dig in on 7L’s time coming up mid-90s hip-Boston hip-hop scene, meeting the infamous Joe Mansfield & Sean C from the Vinyl Reanimators and how they clicked up with AOTP & the Demigodz. We also get into some real DJ & production nerd ish, working with wrestling phenom and good friend John Cena, and being a part of the record label Get On Down. One of our favorite highlights from the interview is the in-depth discussion on how 7L and Eso have continuously stayed ahead of the curve since the late 90s - these guys were killing that Burberry Basquiat Warhol New Wave Electro ish a full decade before any of these cats today thought about it. Yeah we said it. Do the history. Respect the architects. CZARFACE “Every Hero Needs A Villain” drops June 16th!! // southernvangard.com // #hiphop #rap #DJ #mix #interviews #podcast #ATL #BOSTON #WORLDWIDE

Grand Agent Interview Snippets

Episode 019 - Southern Vangard Radio

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents @realgrandagent #interview #session !!! One of the finest to emerge from the Philly underground in the mid-to-late 90s, Grand Agent’s resume is an impressive one to say the least - and we like it when our interviewees like to tell stories as much as we like to hear them, and Grand certainly doesn’t disappoint. Grand talks getting the recording bug in high school, making moves with his first group Name, pumping early demos at Rich Medina’s & Bobbito’s Footwork establishment in Philly, not to mention a great convo about how INSANE the Philly hip-hop, soul & R&B scene was at this time. We get into the Groove Attack years, touring with Common, Lootpack & Camp Lo moving to Germany, and the making of his incredible collaboration with Pete Rock - “This is What They Meant”. We also chat about making the Rawkus 50, his self-imposed break from music in 2011, writing production cues for music libraries in Hollywood and his script writing talent. We also have a great round on the current trend of “throwback” hip-hop radio. Of course we get into the new project “AC Hip-Hop”, which is available now for FREE dollars, and what is coming for him in 2015 and beyond.

Supastition Interview Snippets

Episode 020 - Southern Vangard Radio

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents @supastition_NC interview session!! You don’t say NC hip-hop without mentioning this man’s name - check the resume if you don’t already know - he’s been putting it down for long time for NC and the South in general. We dig into early day goodness, his first record deal experience with Davy DMX that ended up the inspiration for his debut LP “7 Years of Bad Luck”, why he had to hold down rhyme duties and get behind the boards himself early in his career, his early 12” deal with Rasco and his incredible knack for using little known producers early in their careers, that eventually turned future Grammy winners - Jake One, M-Phazes & Illmind to name a few! Supa breaks down his ceiling smashing appearance on “The Williams” alongside Foreign Exchange founder Nicolay in the early days of Okayplayer, his history & relationships with Little Brother, Big Dho and the entire Justus League, not to mention a great story around “Rollin’ Out”, the Khrysis produced heater that appeared on the DJ Drama / Little Brother mixtape “Separate But Equal”. On top of all that, we have a great sidebar convo about Landmark Diner and the regional expansion of Cookout’s across the Southeast, challenges in the Charlotte hip-hop scene, how Supa’s move to the ATL has gone and becoming part of the Soundsci collective. Of course we get into his new album, “The Gold Standard”, which drops June 2 and will be available on his 60+ day tour with Blueprint that kicks off in late May!

Episode 021 - The Endless Stash Vol. 001 - Southern Vangard Radio

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents #DrButcher #interview #session !! We’re talking about a Queens LEGEND here folks. LEGEND. When you layout the timeline of Queen’s hip-hop, this man is found at damn near the beginning. Given most of know Butcher as a phenomenal DJ/producer. we kick off the session discussing the influence of early hip-hop DJ’s like DJ Earthquake, DJ Polo (of Kool G Rap fame)  and his crew The Spinmasters, as well as The Disco Twins. However, Butcher’s initial craft was rhyming - including an early group he formed with LL Cool J called The Extravagant Three, battling his way through Queens alongside Kool G Rap during his teenage years and the influence of Silver Fox on a young LL, G Rap and others. Say what?!? We eventually get into Butcher’s DJ/producer years and talk about his affiliation with the X-Men/X-ecutioners and helping a young Rob Swift train, his close relationships with production monsters Paul C and Large Pro, producing monumental soundscapes for Kool G Rap & Akinyele in the early to mid-90s and his soon-come producer LP that is around the corner.
