With three hours of equipment problems, and a couple interviews falling through Episode #58 got off to a rough start, but the guys managed to hold it down and put together a fire show. Things got started by talking to J. Rose of Bacu Entertainment, whose track “Chillax” earned the most votes from Episode #56. Next, they took a look back at the year that was 2007.  They touched on everything from the best and worst albums of year, to which MC’s made a come up in 2007 and which MC’s took a loss for the year. After reflecting on 07′, they began to look forward to 2008 and what’s on the horizon for hip-hop. Near the end Major, JMack and Phro made a last minute decision to text message Bishop Lamont and he popped in on the phone for an impromptu interview which turned out to be a great one. Bishop took some time to step out of a Detox recording session to discuss his most recent street album The Pope Mobile, and his progress on his upcoming LP. He also discussed Joell Ortiz’s Aftermath situation with them (you gotta hear this one, it’s crazy). All in all this show is thorough, and is packed with more heat from the most talented indie artists out there. Download and enjoy!
