In this episode we go back to 1973 where a band called 24 Carat Black released an album entitled Ghetto:Misfortunes Wealth. This album was the passion project for Staxx records producer Dale Warren so it's no wonder why this album has been sampled by well known hip hop artists like Pusha T, Jay Z, Nas and others. What is worth wondering is why this band isn't more well known. Pitchfork and Vulture contributor, Zach Schonfeld, just wrote a book about the history of the band and was gracious enough to join me for a chat. Enjoy!!
