On this special bonus episode, Travis Hall discusses the creation of his debut album and inspirations.

Patti LaBelle’s leap into pop stardom, with “New Attitude” and “Stir It Up,” in 1984 redefined her legacy, broke barriers, and helped champion a new era Black artist mainstream success.

🗣Bamboo earrings.... at least two pair.... 35 years ago? Sheesh...

Remember that small window when LL was doing choreographed dances in his videos? We got into that and more in this episode.👇🏾

35 years ago, on October 7, 1990, LL Cool J took to the streets of New York to find his “Around The Way Girl.” On this episode, we’re having a quick conversation about the video, and discuss who our favorite “Around The Way Girl” is. Episode 90 - "Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee." troypodcast.com

We didn’t intend to re-release this episode on an anniversary, but here we are.👇🏾 troypodcast.com

Today’s the 37th anniversary of Sir Mix-A-Lot debut album, Swass. Choosing to re-release this episode today was a total coincidence, we didn’t plan this at all…you’d be surprised at how many times this happens with our releases.

This was one of my favorite episodes to record. Especially the Flavor Flav bit.

In honor of today being the 30th anniversary the original airing, we’re revisiting one of our early episodes, where we reviewed the controversial 1995 Source Awards. The show itself became secondary to the many explosive moments that happened on stage.

A little something for y'all on the grill, mixing drinks in the backyard or just chillin' with your folks. Curated for all ages, our "Is that FREE BBQ?" playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/1iL...

30 years ago today, D'Angelo dropped his debut album Brown Sugar. If you were around in '95, you remember how different this was from the R&B of this era, and how it helped to kick off the neo-soul movement. We got into this and more in ep. 28, "How Does It Feel?"👇🏾 troypodcast.com/2022/28-dang...

Pretty much the entire Isley Brothers & Maze discographies. My stepfather used to wear both of them out on any car trip over an hour. Now I can’t get enough of it. Especially this youtu.be/rM-EhH00_4E?...

In honor of today being his birthday, we're getting into the musical evolution of 2Pac, one of hip hop's most complex and controversial voices. From the militant and revolutionary 2Pacalypse Now through the paranoia and revenge themes of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. (1/2)

YES!! One of my favorite Unplugged vinyl releases and one of the best episodes in the show’s whole run! ‘92 was a good year for Unplugged R&B (Mariah, Boyz II Men, Shanice, Joe Public) and then they took until ‘97 to give us another big chunk of R&B greats (Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Blackstreet).

Boom.👇🏾

In this episode, we're discussing how Uptown Records reshaped that sound and style of a generation. From the rise of new jack swing with Teddy Riley and Guy, to Mary J. Blige and Jodeci redefining what R&B could be, Uptown didn't follow trends, it set trends.

Teena AND George.

Teena Marie. Jon B. Lisa Stansfield. Bobby Caldwell. What do these people have in common? Yes, they're white, and they made some jammin' ass songs. In this episode, we're diving into our favorite "White People Jams." The kind of songs that you can slide into a playlist between...(1/3)

On this episode, we’re talking about the 1995 classic Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. A film that’s still serving up laughs and quotables 30 years later. We get into what set Friday apart from the other so-called “hood” movies of the ’90s and early 2000s.

Footprints & Bonita Applebum

This was a fun episode to do. I always thought that Kelis was the one singing on "Superthug," but it's Tammy Lucas.

A lot of people that we now call stars, were once background singers and backup dancers. If you listen to some of your favorite songs or watch some videos you’ll recognize some voices and faces that you may have never noticed before. (1/4)
