Ep.236 - #UKBHM 2023: Lisa Maffia
Lisa Maffia - The First Lady of So Solid Crew - made a genuine attempt to go it solo. Her one and only album was clearly meant to provide a runway for more but media perception of her and chiefly her affiliation with So Solid, kept her career consistently in a state of friction.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:41) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)BIGBABYGUCCI - When You Wake UpWestside Gunn - And Then You Pray For MeOffset - Set it OffKen Carson - A Great ChaosBad Bunny - nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mananaThe Streets - The Darker The Shader The Brighter The LightTOBi - PanicBuck 65 - Super DopeBea Anderson - The Classroom Of SilenceRosewood Swing & Tavaras Jordan - Time Don't Stop For No ManJay Worthy, Kamaiyah & Harry Fraud - THE AM3RICAN DREAMJaydonclover - room service? volume twoSola - Warped SoulKhrysis & Kel - Destined 4 GreatnessThe Hoodies & Kid Capri - Hidden Gems Gotts Street Park - On The InsideJamila Woods - Water Made UsTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (19:27) First Lady - (30:46) Lighter Note - (1:01:50)Thanks for listening.

Ep.235 - #UKBHM 2023: So Solid Crew
UK Garage had a special moment from 99-02, it seemed that every notable Garage track was hitting the charts. But only one track hit no.1 and that was "21 Seconds" by So Solid Crew. They could've easily been a one-hit wonder but with their sheer numbers as a group, two albums and a whole lot of retrospective influence, So Solid will forever be noted in the history of Black British Music.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:09) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)Earl x Alchemist - VOIR DIRE (Streaming Version)Nines - Crop Circle 3Babyfxce E - The X TapeRJ Mr LA x DJ Drama - OMMIO GrillzElcamino x BSF - They Spit On JesusMary Lattimore - Goodbye, Hotel ArkadaDrake - For All The DogsSwank & 9th Wonder - Random as Fuck, Part 2King Draft & 9th Wonder - West End RoseA-F-R-O - '97 Machinefemdot. - Free Samples, Vol. 1femdot. - Free Samples, Vol. 2Otis Mensah - WINTERSKINBishop Nehru - Mysteries of InitiationDaniel Villarreal - Lados BP Money & Whiney - Streets, Love & Other StuffTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:54)They Don't Know - (45:41)2nd Verse - (56:41)Lighter Note - (1:08:15)Thanks for listening.

Ep.233 - Del The Funky Homosapien
Del The Funky Homosapien (Or Del Tha Funkee Homosapien; pick a lane) is a mainstay in the "Alternative" and Independent Hip-Hop scene. His voice is one of the most unique and always delivers when the word "Feat." is next to his name. But does his solo discography tell us anything new about his artistry?Weekly Music Roundup - (0:52) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)Lizzie Berchie - Am I An Adult Yet?Indigo Phoenyx & PA.
