On November 2, 2016 The "Take It Personal" Podcast was launched as the Golden Era and boom-bap-focused podcast to beat all Podcasts. Broadcasting all the way live from Del Boca Vista and brought to you by the Philaflava crew, who founded one of Complex Magazine's "Top 10 Most Influential Hip-Hop Message Boards," well as authoritative subject matter blogs, T.R.O.Y and "Steady Bloggin'," the show and its brand of witty nuance and authentic reverence courtesy of co-hosts Jason Gloss, Kevlar, DJ 360, A-Aron and Roger The Announcer is here to fill the nostalgia void in your heart.
On episode 161, we're hitting you with some winter vibes. Grab your Triple Fat Goose, your Helly Hansen or dust-off that Avirex and get ready for a cold one.
We got music from Group Home, GZA, Smoothe da Hustler, Shadez of Brooklyn, Finsta Bundy, Choclair, Real Live, Mobb Deep, Onyx, Frankenstein, Fat Joe, Lord Finesse and Mic Geronimo.
You've still got time to enter our Get On Down giveaway, listen to episode 160 for the rules and be sure to tag us to enter.
Next-up is our first guest of 2025 and it's gonna blow your mind.
