You know the name, or at least you should. Check the credits. Godfather Don has worked with most of your favourites, including Kool Keith, Cormega and Screwball. His solo catalogue is exemplary, and his work on Hydra Entertainment is damn near mythical at this point. Veteran New York Emcee and Producer Godfather Don pulls up to the pod for a rare and exclusive interview. Don doesn't talk much, so we listened for the most part because nerdy details and unearthed gems were released at will. Before heading out with his saxophone to meet his jazz band for a session, Don opens up about Flatbush Hip-Hop history, how his writing style has evolved, and why he describes his creative process as "meat and potatoes". We also deep dive into the making of his brand new album Thesis (dropping on 30 August 2024!) and share some exclusive snippets from some of the album cuts - because we're connected like that.Respect to the HHV team for connecting the dots and creating an intricate plot.Pre-order the new Thesis album by Godfather Don at www.hhv.de: godfather-don.lnk.to/thesisAvailable in limited quantities on 4LP (incl. all instrumentals), 2LP (vocal tracks only), double cassette (incl. all instrumentals), 2CD (incl. all instrumentals) and digitally on all major platforms.Connect with Breaking AtomsInstagramFacebookTwitterFollow SumitInstagramTwitterFollow ChrisInstagramTwitter

We're back with another exclusive interview, and this week's guest is a story of perseverance in Hip Hop culture. Spanish Ran is a producer from New York who came into the game on the humble, studied the greats and now calls those same greats, 'peers' and, in some cases, 'friends'. Ran shares his Hip Hop origin story, details his relationship with Lenny S, working as an A & R and bringing Rapsody and Westside Gunn to Roc Nation, working with Bloo Azul, Al-Doe and Tree Mason and the inspiration of the late, great MF DOOM. P.S. Ran's timekeeping is impeccable. He was early for his interview. We respect it. Connect with Breaking AtomsInstagramFacebookTwitterFollow SumitInstagramTwitterFollow ChrisInstagramTwitter
