Episode Four: Our Personal Connection to Classic Hip Hop Albums

PODCAST: A trip down memory lane in celebration of three classic releases

Mark Williams is again joined by good friends Mark A and Lee, on an episode recorded on Fathers Day (UK).

The topic is classic hip hop albums and the trio's personal connections to them, leading the team on a trip down memory lane.

Note: At the last minute Lee decided to avoid discussing the more poignant, personal connection he has to J Dilla's 'Donuts' for fear of taking the Episode into more sombre and mournful territory. This means that Lee 'freestyled' his segment of the show and instead focused on the influences within the project and it's impact on beatmaking and beat-tape culture.

REVIEW : Seven Davis Jnr Drops A New Version Of An Old EP 2014 I discovered Seven Davis Jnr when he dropped his FRIENDS EP. The singer, Producer, Songwriter & rare Artist oozes talent. You can hear the influence of church in his progressive soulful house which makes sense as he trained as a gospel & jazz singer. Brought up on the vocal influences of artists such as Prince, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Other earlier influences include classical artists like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Burt Bacharach. As Seven Davis Jr evolved, his interests navigated him into the mainstream/independent world where he began listening to a more diverse range of artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Portishead, The Fugees, The Beatles, Tricky, Bjork and of course the man we all come back to J Dilla who we show love to throughout season one especially Episode 4 House music & Jungle found a young teenage version of Seven Davis Jr in the city of San Franc
