Behind the Scenes with Gio Dee

We hit a new milestone, so going forward we’ll be sharing these off-air convos with ya’ll. First up is Gio Dee.

How this works: We record our interviews in 10-12 minute segments. In between, the mics stay on and catch all sorts of chatter. Sometimes it’s related to the interview, sometimes it’s industry chat, and other times it’s A-Ball dreaming of a hair & makeup budget. You never know what you’re gonna get…

We’ll clean it up a bit, select the most entertaining bits and upload that here. It’s almost like you’re in the room with us…

Shoutout Phive 6 for signing up yesterday and kicking this all off.

Talk soon,

Sam

The 2019 Alumni Cypher

#AlumniCypher

We just wrapped up our annual Alumni Cypher Series and it was one of the best yet. The tradition is stronger than ever. For the fifth straight year, we invited all of our past guests back to rhyme live on-air with their fellow MCs. We had a different group each Tuesday in July & they all brought the heat!

None of this would have been possible without participation from the thriving artistic community in New England, which includes not only vocal artists, but the producers, graphic designers, photographers, and filmmakers behind the scenes, as well as the institutions that support them and create spaces and opportunities to thrive.

This year’s cyphers are brought to you by the Table Manners DJs & Wreck Shop Movement. Once again, the Beat Club Podcast has provided us with the beats. Producers, get hip to them if you haven’t.

Last but certainly not least, we’d like to thank all our patrons for rocking with us! If you’d like to learn more about that, head over here. There’s exclusive cypher footage and audio…

DJ Alcide joined us to talk about what he’s learned over his thirteen years in the game, how his Good Music Showcase Series has grown from a monthly event in Quincy to hitting multiple stages a month in different cities, and why he’ll ALWAYS be here for the home team. Amanda and Sam recapped this weekend’s events, previewed what’s to come, and we said goodbye to A-Ball, who is about to embark on a three month adventure in New Mexico.
