A little bit after I moved to New York we had this short-lived online radio show (shout out to PNC Radio) that was, for lack of a better term, a complete sh*t show. No, seriously, it was the shining definition of disorganized: I invited any and everybody who wanted to pop in, added some swill into the mix, and for a couple hours a week we drank, talked smack, occasionally held cyphers, and talked some more while spinning everything from “Like A Martian” to “Exhibit G, F & P.”
Fun times.
Eventually, I couldn’t find the time to continue to do it (running a weekly show, booking guests for it, and spinning the music mostly by yourself takes a lot of time and energy) and the show would go the way of the dodo. Since then, I’ve been asked — several times — if I would ever resurrect the show.
Well, guess what’s back from the dead.
As it’s the first episode — and I’m at the moment doing this from the comfort of my home setup rather than at an online radio station studio — this is simply a selection of tracks that the DopeHouse currently enjoys. I hope to eventually inject some personality into the mix (read: guests, cyphers, general smack talking, and the like) in the future, but for the time being enjoy what we have so far.
