Episode 67: The Podfather Featuring Levi Dalton

Episode 67: The Podfather Featuring Levi Dalton

Author: Wine and Hip Hop April 6, 2022 Duration: 44:39

This week we chop it up with the one and only Podfather, Levi Dalton. He’s been in the podcast hustle from before it was a thing, inviting the great and the good of the wine industry right into his living room to get the inside scoop and then sharing it on I'll Drink to That! This episode dives into his experiences, what on earth he was getting himself into and of course why "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'" by MC Breed hold such a special place for him.


In each episode of Wine And Hip Hop, host Jermaine Stone-an Emmy and James Beard Award-nominated personality-curates a unique conversation that lives at the intersection of culture and taste. This podcast brings together hip-hop artists and wine professionals for a dialogue that is as fluid and surprising as a great freestyle. The format is elegantly simple yet rich with discovery: a guest brings a meaningful song or a chosen bottle of wine to the table, and Jermaine selects the perfect counterpart. What unfolds is an organic, informative, and deeply entertaining discussion about the connections between a beat and a Bordeaux, a lyric and a vintage. The conversation explores personal stories, the craftsmanship behind both art forms, and the sensory experiences they evoke. It’s not about rigid rules or pretentious pairings, but about the shared passion and creativity that fuel hip-hop and winemaking. Listeners are invited into a space where expertise meets personal narrative, revealing how a track can change the taste of a wine and how a wine can deepen the feeling of a song. This is a podcast for the curious, for those who appreciate the layers in a complex blend or a masterful verse, and for anyone who believes the best moments are often accompanied by the right sound and the right glass.
