August 19, 2026 · 1 hr 25 min

#220 - SHA RAY & DJ Haram breakdown 'Critical Thot' - Album Alchemy

June 24, 2026 · 1 hr 18 min

#219 - Nickelus F INTERVIEW

June 10, 2026 · 1 hr 9 min

Few artists have a career as unique and prolific as today’s guest, Richmond Virginia’s own, Nickelus F. Over multiple decades, F has dazzled listeners with his ridiculous technical skills as an MC, the authenticity and honesty in his…
