For those that don't know, OKP Squeeg and I do a podcast through ADP.fm called "Return To Zero." We're close to 30 episodes deep at this point, playing dope hip-hop from all eras and sharing our own perspectives.

Often we do concept episodes, sometimes focusing on a different artist or producer or type of track. Earlier this year, we did a two-part episode getting deep into all the guest appearances by one of the GOATs, Black Thought of the Roots. We didn't play **all** of his guest verses, but we played a whole lot of them. And yeah, Thought is pretty clearly one of the best "guest rappers" ever.

So, I'm posting up both episodes and the playlists. Some of the transitions aren't perfect (that's my fault, did this through a mixing board than a couple of turntables), but the music still goes. Play them to help you get through your day, and let me know what you think. Peace.
