How was everyone's weekend? Are weekends even real anymore? While we don't have the answer to those questions, we do have some more hip hop questions for you – and some great guests who will be joining us on our Instagram Live this week. We wanted to share the info with you so you can plan accordingly and join in to watch the world's best hip hop trivia game.
Monday 4/27, 9PM EST/6PM PST
DART ADAMS
We're kicking things off with journalist/writer/hip hop historian Dart Adams! There are few people in the game who are as well-read and up on context/history of the music and culture than Dart (I mean, he penned a book called 'BEST DAMN HIP HOP WRITING'). We're gonna learn things on this one.
Wednesday 4/29, 9PM EST/6PM PST
HOUSE SHOES
Though he calls LA his home now, House Shoes has been repping Detroit since Day 1, producing/working with some of the city's greats such as J. Dilla, Danny Brown, Elzhi, Proof, and many more. As the head of his own label Street Corner Music, Shoes is an authoritative voice to hip hop and has the track record to back it up.
Friday 5/1, 9PM EST/6PM PST
J-LIVE
J-Live is the embodiment of hip hop, with a catalog of albums showcasing his superb skills as a writer/emcee, a healthy amount of DJ mixes (and a routine where he raps DJing that needs to be seen to be believed), all while navigating the music industry as an independent entrepreneur. If I were as good a writer as J-Live, this would sound more impressive – for those who don't know, you're better off just tuning in to see for yourself!
Tune in this week to watch the guests prove their hip hop knowledge, play along at home in the chat, and ask the guests questions. We appreciate your support and are happy to provide a fun distraction in these crazy times.
And speaking of fun distractions, we recently launched our YouTube channel! We've added some highlights from our games and will be uploading other pieces of content regularly. Make sure you subscribe!
Be well, be safe, and we'll see you soon.
