How haven't we done this one yet? Two hours of jazz, fusion and idiosyncratic pop from one of the 20th Century's most singular innovators, Herbie Hancock. Ever since the beginning of his career, Herbie Hancock has been triumphantly resistant to the contemporary dogmas of jazz, continually altering musical trends as he goes. During his tenure playing in bands with Donald Byrd and Miles Davis, Hancock was a foundational figure in the birth of post-bop jazz sound. He soon moved onto fusing jazz with funk, and fearlessly experimented with early electronic instruments, synthesizers and even samplers.

From humble beginnings at NYC house parties over 50 years ago, rap music has become a global phenomenon - its imprint on the sonics of pop music, fashion, language, and culture at large is immeasurable.

Join us on a trip around a rap-obsessed world, stopping off at selected hot local scenes, meeting some rising stars, and learning about overlooked histories through a blend of mixes, radio shows, videos and interviews.

Other episodes include Paris Aden interviewing Houston strippers on the best new rap, Antconstantino and special guest MCs from the Brazilian rap scene, a Korean rap special from Y2K92’s Jibin, a whistle-stop tour of the newest US rap compiled by EvilGiane, a guest appearance by Nigerian MC Aunty Rayzor, Maiba Taya, a showcase of Filipino rap, and tons more.
