Listen "Timmhotep Aku"
Episode Synopsis
This week we are joined by none other than the Brookyln-bred, undefeated artists' champion and one-man media giant Timmhotep Aku. We talk about the musical spark that set him on a life-long journey, Video Music Box, the lessons that De La Soul taught us and the mark they made on generations in their wake — including your favorite rappers wearing Denim Tears. We dig into his additional work writing recent stories on Cash Cobain and RXK Nephew and the wild parallels that can be drawn to each. We discuss regional rap waves, his contributions to podcasts, his monthly radio show on NTS titled 'Subject To Change' and the mindset behind the curation of the music. We wrap up with a ligthening round breakdown of 5 songs from his wRap Caveat playlist(s) on Spotify and Apple Music featuring songs by 41, Danny Brown, Certified Trapper and more.
