“We looked at what’s out there, and in terms of podcasting in the hip hop space, there are some debates,” Chery continues. “We saw it with ‘Everyday Struggle’ and what Joe Budden is doing where (discussions) naturally turned into debates. We felt Spotify could put a sting on what hip-hop debates are like — have more specific topics, really make it more about the music and culture instead of focusing on the juicy sensational stuff, which has been front-and-center the last few years.”
There are currently no plans for songs from the RapCaviar playlist to be played or used in the podcast, though Chery says he’s “sure there will be instances where we talk about a specific song, and we’ll play that song.”
“We did get a custom theme track from the producer JetsonMade, and are super excited about that,” Chery explains. “We felt it was important to include someone that the community’s familiar with.”
