    Interview with Ultra Beast and Mix 229
    Oct 31 2019
    BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the ULTRA BEAST interview session! It’s only right we have rhyme animals 4-IZE & SEÑOR KAOS for our Thursday interview session this week, given Halloween falls on a Thursday this year. These two Atlanta MC’s have come together again to form as ULTRA BEAST and are dropping their 2nd LP “UNITED” on Nov. 8th. They dropped by for an in-studio interview to talk about the genesis of the album, how guests like WORDSWORTH, PUNCHLINE, HEADKRACK, NUMBER 2, ALEXANDER BLANE, & GREATNESS IS EZ landed on the project and the stable of producers they picked to provide the soundscape - folks like DON CANNON, D.R.U.G.S. BEATS, E.JONES, ILLASTRATE, CRAZY DJ BAZARRO & SPITZWELL. We go way back with these gentlemen so we also get into some old Atlanta stories - how about 4IZE first roommate when he moved to the A was LALA ANTHONY?! KAOS provides some insight on how he broke into the promotion and marketing game - including an insane story on how he threw JANELLE MONÁE’S first sponsored Atlanta showcase and why the even the fire marshal couldn’t stop the show. There’s a lot more goodness inside but you’re gonna have to press play to hear it - so grab “UNITED” when it drops Nov. 8th, hit the Ep229 mix for an exclusive sneak peek of the album and remember it’s always that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK

    Interview with Jazzsoon and Mix 228
    Oct 24 2019
    BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jazzsoon interview session! If you don’t this gentleman, get up to speed NOW. This producer blew the doors off 2019 early alongside PNC Nems with “Gorilla Monsoon” - a blistering 13-track LP that is hands down a top tier contender for AOTY and over time will go down in history as a bonafide classic - yeah we said it. We get Jazz on the horn to talk about how the album came together, his decade-long relationship with Nems and why this album will cement his place in hip-hop history. Doe and Meeks also crack open the history books and talk about what it was like growing up in Brooklyn, the stark difference in now-Brooklyn and the production tools of the trade he cut his teeth on. Jazz also talks about the upcoming re-release of his currently sold-out “Taxi”, his latest release, “Sex Tape” and what else is on the menu for 2019 and beyond. So what are you waiting for - cop “Gorilla Monsoon” now if you haven’t already, scoop up these limited Jazzsoon physicals before they’re gone and you can’t afford them and last but not least, press play on this interview and remember it’s ALWAYS that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK

  • The Chris Crack Interview and Mix 225

    The Chris Crack Interview and Mix 225
    Oct 3 2019
    BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Chris Crack interview session! We head to the Chi this week for our Thursday interview session, and man is this a special one. About two years ago, this MC flipped the switch on his output and it’s been a deluge of unique, high quality and consistent material - which is frankly hard to come by these days. This week Chris is celebrating with our good friend Chong Wizard as they announced the vinyl release of “Never Hated, I Just Waited.” Chris breaks down the development of his relationship with Chong over the past few years, why he chose a Saturday as the date for the vinyl pre-order and some background on the artist behind the cover for the album. We also talk about the science behind Chris’ album & song title game, why Gary Vee kicked his work ethic into high gear and the highly important relationship between him and his engineer, Cutta. We tear the doors off the hinges when Chris gives up the goods on the outcome of that infamous Madlib tweet last spring - but you lucky f*cks are gonna have to tune-in to hear about it. So get your little money up for that ‘Never Hated, I Just Waited” pre-order this Sat at Chong Wizard Records, get familiar with that Crack if you haven’t already and remember your guys Doe & Meeks ALWAYS serve up that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK

    Interview With Jamal Gasol and Mix 221
    Sep 6 2019
    BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the Jamal Gasol interview session! We stayed upstate NY this week after our M.A.V. interview session last week - you just can’t front on the pedigree that’s coming out of the region now - and Niagara Fall’s own Jamal Gasol is no exception. To kick things off, we get the behind the scenes story about the Big Turks project that just dropped on Chong Wizard Records. This Turkish, martial arts film inspired project features Jamal, Rome Streetz and Lord Juco on rhyme duties, Ro Data on production, Jordan Commandeur as executive producer and Jonny Botsch on art / design. We also dig into Jamal’s process when it comes to creating and recording, why rhyming was the hip-hop discipline he gravitated towards and how the time he spent in Atlanta as a youth in high school influenced him musically. We also get the inside scoop on the origin of his name and what he’s cooking up in the rest of 2019 and beyond. So…why are you still reading this description? Press play, light it up, pour it out and remember The World Is Piff and it’s always that #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK

  • Southern Vangard - Interview With G4 Jag and Mix 219

    Southern Vangard - Interview With G4 Jag and Mix 219
    Aug 17 2019
    BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the G4 Jag interview session! This Harlem MC has been manhandling 2019 ever since he dropped “The Survivors”, a project that featured white-hot Flee Lord and L-Biz, which found itself on vinyl via Dutch label De Rap Winkel - and now has a hefty asking price in collectors circles. He hasn’t stopped since with two projects this summer - “Nothing Was Given” and an EP with Madhattan titled “The Sixth Man”. We caught up with Jag to talk about all three of these projects, his extremely hands-on, collaborative process with engineer/producer/DJ Big French of Mad Bull Productions and what’s in store for the rest of the year for him and the Fly Family. Jag also sheds light on the musical influence his mother & father had on him growing up as well as how writing became a crucial form of therapy for him throughout his life - especially after finding himself square in the middle Ground Zero when the World Trade Center towers dropped to the ground on September 11, 2001. Vangardians, this is EASILY one of our top interviews to date in 2019 - so don’t delay, press play and remember it’s ALWAYS #SmithsonianGrade #TwiceAWeek #WeAreTheGard // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #applepodcasts #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud #youtube // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhiphop #boombap #DJ #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE #RIPCOMBATJACK
