Closing out Season 2 of Can’t Knock the Shuffle with a guy who essentially was built for the long-form music analysis/discussion that podcasts are all about: legendary A&R/music exec/producer/engineer/hip hop brainiac Dante Ross.
He’s played such a crucial role in developing the careers of so many of hip hop’s brightest stars, and in this episode we touch on a whole lot of it – from emerging onto the scene working with De La Soul on ‘3 Feet High and Rising’ to his days at Elektra helping guide Del the Funky Homosapien and Busta Rhymes to the chaos of working with Ol’ Dirty Bastard on his debut to the personal tragedies that almost derailed Everlast’s platinum-selling breakthrough album and much much more.
Appreciate everyone who has supported the podcast this season by leaving a review, commenting in this thread, and helping to spread the word. See you for Season 3?
