In this episode, the pod sits down with Poison Pen (of Rebel Armz, Team Homi fame.) He talks everything from the transition between Indie and Commercial Rap to the era of The Tunnel, and the real history of bringing Battle Rap back to New York.
We chop it up about the wild reality of seeing Fat Joe and Big Pun terrorize the Lyricist Lounge, his personal Eminem story, and the hilarious truth behind Taylor Swift joining Team Homi. Plus, we get into his Brooklyn Mt. Rushmore, meeting Nas and Biggie, the Chino XL vs 2pac situation, and tell some legendary rap stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
