Rakim
The God MC taps in for a no-holds-barred conversation that spans his legendary career and lasting impact on hip-hop. Rakim breaks down his writing process, how he approaches working with producers, and what it means to be an artist of a certain era while remaining as relevant as ever today.
He also talks about collaborating with fellow legends like DJ Premier and Dr. Dre, staying creative decades into his career, and what life looks like for him when he’s not in the studio. Nothing is off limits in this very Juan EP sit-down with one of the greatest to ever touch a mic.

The Epitome of a Juan Ep Episode ft. Erick Sermon
Look, it wouldn’t be a Juan Ep episode if something didn’t go wrong and we didn’t just keep it moving. Technical difficulties aside, we think this Erick Sermon interview turned into a really fun, classic Juan Ep conversation.
And yes, we know it’s time to get back to more in-studio, in-person interviews. That’s coming very soon, we promise.
Enjoy this one with the Green-Eyed Bandit!
