The Vocal - All Episodes

collective headz Friday night one take

When I recorded this interview with Sherona Knight, it was intended to be a quick, 15 minute interview for my radio show, "The Prophecy", on CIUT 89.5fm Toronto. It turned into a much longer and deeper conversation, and I only ended up using part of it for the radio. I decided to post the full interview as a special one-off revisiting of my former interview podcast The Vocal. Go follow Sherona and check out her music.

TRACK LIST:
Sherona Knight and Inja - "Fire"
***Interview***
Illmatika, Sherona Knight, and Maverick Soul - "Oshun"

The Vocal with Valiant Emcee - Special Guest Sherona Knight

Paying respect to the most iconic drum and bass personality of all times, MC Conrad. We're all felt numb and shocked after hearing the news of his unexpected death.
His vocals and music will accompany us for the rest of our lives.
Have a soulful journey into the light King ! 
Rest in eternal peace.

June 2024 SVr Mix

After a bit of a hiatus, The Vocal returns with one of the biggest radiant balls of positive energy in this dimension, the one and only Inja. The Hospital Records wordsmith is usually seen these days narrating for Kings of The Rollers, among others, in front of rabid crowds, and and dropping supernova features around the galaxy like he's DnB Santa Claus. After last year’s stellar “Blank Pages”, the man simply doesn’t have an off switch. Find out what makes him tick. Before that, however, San Francisco’s Emcee Tell helms the microphone for the national treasure that is Stamina Sundays, and he’s currently making noise with the Soul Deep Recordings camp. He checks in with us about a couple of releases he’s got dropping soon, and we even get a little preview. All that, plus an hour of the best vocal drum-n-bass music.
