We are wrapping up our miniseries this week with a special episode where DBRP hosts Nate LeBlanc, David Ma and Demone Carter draft their top 5 Beastie Boys songs. In between segments we have exclusive voicemails from friends, listeners, artists and indie hip-hop podcast royalty breaking down their favorite tracks as well. Though we had some pretty tough criticisms over the last few weeks, today's episode is a celebration of everything we love about the Beasties, an iconic American band that spanned genres, eras, and mediums in a unique and inspiring way. As we close out this series, we want to thank everyone who helped us along the way, especially guest commentators Dante Ross, Sean Kantrowitz, Kenny Segal, and Open Mike Eagle. Huge thanks to Rory Simms for the art, Stephanie Barajas for the photos, Defcee for writing and recording our theme song, we appreciate your talents. But most of all, we have to thank Cutso aka Producer Cutso aka P Monetary for joining us on this journey. Cutty is an amazing DJ, a great producer in the creative and technical senses of the word, and a great friend. Please give him a follow and listen to his music and mixes and consider getting DJ lessons from his new venture, First Wav Preservation Society. We are going to take a quick break and then be back with our regularly scheduled programming of banter, puns, jokes, interviews with hip-hop creators and legends, and more very soon. Sincere thanks to everyone who tuned in, reached out, and participated in this project in any way. We give thanks to the Beastie Boys for all of their great music and for giving us so much to talk about.

The conversation flows from three distinct but deeply connected perspectives on Dad Bod Rap Pod. Hosted by rapper Demone Carter (DEM ONE), music writer David Ma, and record collector Nate LeBlanc, this podcast digs into the culture with a rare combination of insider knowledge, critical analysis, and archival passion. Their discussions are less about hot takes and more about substantive, respectful dialogue with the artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures who have shaped the genre. You'll hear interviews that feel like conversations among peers, often uncovering lesser-known stories and appreciating the craft from multiple angles. As part of the Stony Island Audio network, the show is built on a foundation of genuine fandom and expertise. Listening to this podcast means getting a rounded, thoughtful examination of hip-hop's legacy and its current evolution, all filtered through the experiences of three dedicated enthusiasts who happen to have great chemistry. It’s for anyone who wants to move beyond the surface and into the deeper layers of the music.
