Earlier this year Arthur, Jehan and Scoop asked me to join what I considered my favorite podcast, The Music Snobs. Can't express how fun it has been working and talking music with these guys. I've been meaning to post these links now that the new season is here, but never got around to it. But yeah, here we are. Come check us out.

J. Dilla: The Greatest Influence On Music In The 21st Century?
In the 16 years since J. Dilla’s untimely passing, the shadow of the visionary hip-hop producer looms large over his birthplace Detroit — and the entire world. The long-awaited return of TMS asks: Is J. Dilla the greatest influence on music in the 21st century? Get ready for a challenging debate, diving deep into the genre of music that wouldn’t exist without Jay Dee, his reinvention of rhythm — and whether his early death impacted his legacy. The return of The Snobs closes with a roundtable that looks to the future, deciding who’s taken Dilla’s sound forward the most since his departure, but not before the crew digs in to Jay Dee’s greatest ever beats. The Music Snobs are finally back to explore one of the best to ever do it, as only they can.

What made Tony Toni Toné the timeless group that we love (and miss, when they broke-up all too soon)?
Cutting through a crowd of '90s new jacks, Oakland's own Raphael Saadiq, Dwayne Wiggins and Timothy Christian Riley seized attention with their evolution of musical romance. TMS takes a closer look at what made Tony Toni Toné the timeless R&B group that we came to love — and miss, when they broke-up all too soon. The Snobs study the ingredients of the secret sauce that gave us The Tonies' most iconic songs — debating whether their classic instrumentation or romantic lyrics are more critical to TTT's place in the house of music. The crew closes out the show with a roundtable to talk up the breakdowns of their favorite groups, and ask: What band had the most tragic break-up of all time? Get ready to laugh, cry, and scream at your podcast app, as Season 3 of The Music Snobs continues with an episode for the ages. https://digife.com
