#justiceforDaunteWright
<div>On the latest Day 1 Radio pod, Maurice and BP dig into the topics that our culture has been dealing with over the past few days. </div> <div> </div> <div>1:50 - We open the show with a topic we've talked about too many times over the years, police killing unarmed Black people. In a fit of unfortunate irony, Daunte Wright was killed by a police officer in a town just 10 minutes away from where George Floyd was killed last year, during the Derek Chauvin trial. Here we talk about dealing with the trauma of seeing this and debate whether or not videos of these killings should be banned from being posted on social media. <div> </div> <div>9:15 - Another repeat here as we again ask why families of police killing victims hire Ben Crump everytime. We also talk about how families "forgiving" the police may not help anything. Then we address the need for a federal database that keeps track of murderous, aggressive cops after they resign or get fired.</div> <div> </div> <div>28:50 - We couldn't record without speaking on the passing of Hip Hop icon DMX. Here we shared our favorite moments and the times we got to see him in person.</div> </div> <p>Day 1 Radio podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, IHeartRadio, Spotify, Stitcher, Radio Public, and CLNS Mobile Media app. Follow us on Twitter, FB, and IG at @day1radio</p>

Big Bossin' w/ Cardo and Payroll Giovanni
<p>This weeks' guests Cardo and Payroll Giovanni have been making dope music for a few years now and it doesn't sound like they are slowing down anytime soon. Here we talk with them about how they met, their chemistry and how they've been able to mesh their individual styles together so seamlessly. </p> <p>1:00 - Cardo is originally from Minnesota and moved to DFW. Payroll is from Detroit. So, we had to ask how these two even met and started making music. Ironically, their incredible chemistry was from working together in Atlanta on a halted super group album with Jeezy and YG. Cardo and Payroll remind a lot of listeners of the Bay Area's "mob music" sound. They both speak on how the style influences their music. </p> <p>10:00 - Payroll and Cardo talk about how their chemistry hasn't been impacted too severely by not being able to work together in the studio during COVID. They reveal how even though email has become their primary mode of communication, the magic is still there.</p> <p>15:15 - Payroll will be starring in a film about Detroit icons Chedda Boyz. He clarifies that the film he is in focusing on the street crew, not the rap iteration that many are familiar with.</p> <p>17:20 - Detroit Hip-Hop is starting to be recognized to the point that other regions are actually starting to borrow some of their slang, style and fashion. Payroll speaks on how crazy it is to see it happening.</p> <p>19:40 - Cardo explains the origins of 2020's <em>Game Related</em> album that featured Payroll, Larry June and Kid HBK. While it was well-received by fans, the album happened to drop the same day as Kobe Bryant's death and days before the world stopped because of COVID.</p> <p>23:00 - Cardo has produced megahits for the likes of Drake and Travis Scott, but he has also created cult classics with people like Payroll, Curren$y and others. Here we ask him if he ever tries to get artists on their level to rap on some of his more "underground" type beats. </p> <p>28:15 - Payroll speaks on his upcoming tour with Oakland rapper Philthy Rich and how it feels going back on the road as things are opening back up. We also get them to speak on new music they are working on.</p> <p>Day 1 Radio podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, IHeartRadio, Spotify, Stitcher, Radio Public, and CLNS Mobile Media app. Follow us on Twitter, FB, and IG at @day1radio</p>
