DBRP RETRO: ENTA DA STAGE

DBRP RETRO: ENTA DA STAGE

Author: Dad Bod Rap Pod October 5, 2023 Duration: 1:16:36
Don't front you know we got ya open! Hopefully yall have been enjoying or 1993 retro series thus far. This week we examine Black Moon's album Enta Da Stage. Buckshot Shorty, 5 FT, and Evil Dee combined to create a dark and gritty album that spawned a visual aesthetic (two strap backpacks) and a sound that is still relevant today (lo-fi beats that you can study to) Was this a timeless album or an album of its time? The bros are joined by author Adam Mansbach and rapper Defcee to parse through this question and talk about their new record The Golem of Brooklyn Original Soundtracks (and the accompanying novel).

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.
