On Episode 128 of the Guest Speaker series, we welcome Axestrumentals and Smok, otherwise known as The Hangaz, to the show! Axe (emcee, producer) and Smok (emcee) both hail from Dorchester, MA and have collectively been in the music game for decades. They describe their come up in hip-hop, and Dorchester’s contribution to the culture, as well as the history of Boston’s troubled history when it comes to segregation within its communities.
The Hangaz are also fresh off their latest release ‘Respect My Fanhood’ which brings together their love of sports and hip-hop in a way that any sports fan can enjoy, with songs that topically range from basketball, to football, to wrestling, and even tennis. Smok also reflects on his hockey fandom, the state of the Bruins team as a whole, and of course, The Hangaz’ music video “Something Bruin”.
Mike, Axe, & Smok cover a variety of other topics, including the problems with Boston sports media, the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight, whether or not Andre 3000 will ever release a hip-hop album, and so much more.
