On the first show for 2017 we take it back to the beginning of this podcast journey. This gentleman is the reason we use the term "internets", he's the reason the pause game will forever be enabled, he's the reason Polo, Timberlands and copping the latest releases is ingrained in the culture. He's one of the architects of making urban podcasts cool. He was there at the start of the Combat Jack Show spaceship and he's here now.

The Coodie and Chike Episode

This episode of Mogul is a tribute to the life and career of Reggie Ossé, who hosted the first season of Mogul.

We’re going to tell you Reggie’s story — His early days growing up a hip-hop head in Brooklyn, his time as a lawyer representing legendary artists like Jay-Z and Dame Dash, and his reinvention as Combat Jack, hip hop’s flagship podcaster.

Mogul: The Life and Times of Reggie Ossé

Mogul is a show about hip hop’s most iconic moments, told by the people who lived them. Season 2 dives into the birth of southern hip hop. It all started in Miami with the 2 Live Crew, a group that took hip hop and made it faster, harder, and nastier than anything anyone had heard before. But in 1990 their music was declared legally obscene, and what followed is known today as the most controversial trial in the history of hip hop. This group, this city and this trial changed the course of music history as we know it. Mogul Season 2 features exclusive interviews with Miami legends like Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, Trina, Luke Campbell, Brother Marquis, Mr. Mixx, Walshy Fire, and more.

Mogul Season 2 Preview

The undisputed #1 HipHop podcast, the Combat Jack Show features interviews with HipHop icons & the most in-depth conversations about music, news, culture & race.
