Episode 50 is here baby! We kicked off our 7 city hip-hop tour “Block 2 Block” in M.I.A.  We talked about Miami’s influence on hip-hop, its transition over the past few years and alot more. From the Miami bass music of the 80′s, all the way to today’s new Miami sound, we covered it all. We also got a chance to holla at one half of Miami’s hottest production team, Cool from Cool N’ Dre. He touched on what goes into making a hot track, and some of their newest business moves. Later in the show, we have an exclusive interview with Billy Corben, the Director of Cocaine Cowboys, the documentary that covers Miami’s infamous drug trade and how it impacted the city’s growth and rise in popularity. Billy was candid and shared a lot of insight on the first film and even provided some ill teasers about the forthcoming follow-up, Cocaine Cowboys II: The Godmother Returns. As if that wasn’t enough, we caught up with GIF , winner for Episode #48, and talked about the idea behind his track “No Born I.D.”, and his upcoming plans. The music in Episode #50 is fire, and features artists strictly from the Metro Miami area. This show is so big we had to break it up into two pieces, but take the time to download both of them and enjoy M.I.A.. The next episode in this series will feature Houston, Texas, so artists from H-Town get your tracks in.
