One things for certain, Reno Rx keeps it a thousand from his music to the way he carries himself in the public eye. We salute this brother for pulling up to our show and sharing his journey. In this sequel to part one we get more in depth on his music catalog by reflecting on his older projects and work our way up to the present. We highlight a few of his hard hitting rhymes on our segment called, Bars with Reno Rx and he gives an exclusive performance of his upcoming single "Gordon Ramsey". As usual the conversations are too real to not recognize what's in front of your face, so we hope you enjoy!

Be on the lookout for the next up out of Harlem, its Pyrex P's time to shine.

For this episode we have one of the best up and coming artist on the bill coming out Harlem who goes by the name Pyrex P. We touch on the music scene from the past to today that is known as one of the hot beds for artist to come out of in Hip Hop. Growing up around some well known artist motivated Pyrex P to pursue his dreams of one day being mentioned along side legends like Big L, Camron, Mase, and JR Writer to name a few. As always we had to ask who are his Top Five emcees that inspired him to rhyme and we put his Hip Hop history knowledge to the test with Hip Hop Roulette. Stay tuned for part two!

When part two comes around it's time to buckle up! We are back with the highly talented artist Mic Handz to continue where we left off from part one. This go around we get into the Bars with Mic Handz segment which from listening, you will see why he's been co-signed and worked with some of the illest emcees in the game ever. We get more in depth into his passion for fashion design and how he navigated himself through that aspect of the music industry to combine it with his music career. Mic Handz jumped on our stage and gave us a memorable performance for the Show N Prove segment. We get in depth on the creation of Hip Hop music, just overall a gem of an episode for any true fan of the genre. Make sure to go check out the catalog and stay tuned for more!

New week, new episode and were going to take ya to Brooklyn with this legend of the underground Hip Hop scene Mic Handz. This man is a true emcee in every form of the word from his stage presence to the music catalog he's put down and working with some very notable legends throughout his musical journey, it goes to show the level of artist Mic Handz is but the beauty of this interview is we go beyond the music because he is also involved in many different fields from his graphic design company to mental health awareness. This episode is mentally deep and enlightening to be a part of. You know we had to come with his top five and we went searching for Mic Handz as well which brought up some funny stories that you don't want to miss. Stay tuned for part two next week cause this is just the warm up.

Part two is here with our fellow Corona native Paranormal and we kick things off, bringing back some of his bars to see if he remembers the name of the song they are from. The Show N Prove stage was left ablaze after his performance of his single Kimba Dawn and he breaks down the meaning behind the title of the song. We got live footage at the Secret Pour in Brooklyn where Paranormal performed alongside the Certain Ones crew. Make sure ya check out the Album When Art Becomes Ugly on bandcamp. Lastly we want to say R.I.P. to a home town legend who lived and breathed Hip Hop Willie Stubz. We were just in the works of bringing him in for an interview before his untimely demise and we were saddened to hear the news of his passing. We will do our part and represent such a talented brother who inspired a whole hood. Rest easy Willie Stubz.

Paranormal is one of our first and biggest supporters when it comes to our show and it is an honor to have him back as he was also one of the first guests we ever had back in episode 10. We touch on everything he's been working on since. He recently released a project called When Art Becomes Ugly that is available on band camp. We run through our segments which are Paranormal's Top Five, we went Searching for Paranormal and we test his knowledge through our trivia game we call Hip Hop Roulette. When this brother is around the conversations get deep and descriptive so we hope you enjoy. Its The Advocates!!

The real is back and it don't get no realer than this! Beyah gets into the landscape of the Hip Hop scene in Delaware mentioning some of the artist that he's around and also making waves out there. He explains the definition of his name and where he got it from and what drives his creativity when it comes to his lyrics after we review some his lines on Bars with Beyah. Listening to his music you'll get a sense of the message he is trying to relay being more about teaching as oppose to most of the bragging that's done in todays rap. The Show N Prove performance is a memorable one in which he shares the stage with his little girl Camilla. An artist like Beyah is the reason why we do this, to show that there is great artist out there, it's just a matter of finding them and show casing them for our viewers to enjoy. Make sure to check out the GSWII album which we reviewed on this episode for the album of the week. This album is definitely a must listen along with a lot of the music in Beyah's catalog. Let's bring it back to the essence of being original because there are people in this game that misrepresent what this genre of Hip Hop originated from. It's the Advocates!!

A new week with a new guest and this time we are taking you down to Delaware. Beyah is a very humble individual that has found a way to translate his real life story into his music in a poetic way over some mesmerizing production. You'll get to know a lot about this brother through this interview but the story is deeper when you listen to the music he creates. We get to his top five rappers that gave him influence along with some honorable mentions that he listens too regularly. We came with the Hip Hop Roulette, our trivia segment to test our guests knowledge of the genre and Beyah was on his P's and Q's for it. We hope you enjoy this one and stay tuned cause next week we have more to come with Beyah, including a performance.

For part two with Gonz we take it to our trivia game of Hip Hop Roulette to test his knowledge of the genre. We got Bars with Gonz to see how familiar he is with his lyrics and if he can identify the song they came from and soon after a live performance of his song "My Wrath" off of his EP album Time Capsule which we also recommend for the album of the week. We got more heat coming with this brother so be on the lookout. It's the Advocates!!

It's a new week and we have another great talent to present coming out of New Jersey and he goes by the name Gonz. This brother is an MC to the core and represents the Hip Hop culture the right way. Gonz gets into how he was captivated into wanting to become an artist himself from seeing and hearing some of the greats to then taking the steps to learn how to write his own music. We get into a healthy debate discussing todays standard of what's good and what's trash in Hip Hop music today. Gonz drops his top five Mc's and we went searching for him through out Jersey to tell us stories behind some of the ill pics we found. Stay tuned for next week when part two drops. It's the Advocates!!

This week we sit down with a fellow Hip Hop show host Deme D who runs the DagogetaTv channel on Youtube. On his channel he has multiple different shows that cover different aspects of the genre from the artist, to the fashion and even the DJ side of things. When he says he is Mr. everywhere and you never there, it is a statement that carries heavy and backed up tremendously from his work ethic. On top of being a great interviewer he is wearing all of the hats from production to editing. If you are an independent artist looking for exposure DagogetaTv platform is the way to go so tap in.

Spit Gemz is back in the house with the Advocates to tell his story. If you know about Spit Gemz's music catalog then you know he is not one to play with on the mic. If you want to mention some of the elite emcees that don't get mentioned enough in the mainstream then you have to throw him in that mix because he comes with the force of tsunami when he delivers rhymes. We got phenomenal stories covering the legends he's worked with in his music career when we went searching for Spit Gemz, some fun trivia questions and a live performance of the song "Stone Carrying Flask" off of his EP The Happiness of the Knife. Another Gem delivered!!

For this latest episode we took it back home to Corona with these two legendary brothers Neno who is the founder of Q Thoro Apparel and one of the rawest emcees out on the seen today Bottem Line. We start off the first half with Neno detailing how he was inspired by the late great Corona legend VON to start his brand the Q Thoro Apparel clothing line and we tapped into our segment Searching for Neno displaying some of the legends that have shown love to the brand. From Q Thoro we jump into an epic Show N Prove performance by Bottom Line and we sit down to get his story on his come up. We got the Top Five, we got Bars with and of course some great stories from BL. The energy in the room was positive and electric so please enjoy the show!!

This is the closing part of our interview with Cuban Link and it got crazy to say the least in a positive way. We played Hip Hop Roulette where we ask our guest a list of questions related to Hip Hop History. We did Bars with Cuban Link where we rhymed some of his classic bars and he had too guess what song it was from and we added a little bonus with some Big Pun rhymes as well. To close it all out we talked about his debut album that leaked 24K and what was the cause and much, much more. We appreciate having this legend on and look forward to what he has coming new for his fans.

Part two is here and the stories get deeper and more funnier. Cuban Link is a very animated person when he talks, which makes his stories very engaging when he describes a scenario. He goes into detail about working on the first song that introduced him to the world "Off the Books" with the Beatnuts and working with Puff Daddy writing the hook for the song "Señorita" off of Puff's debut album No Way Out. He even touches on meeting the late great Aaliyah before she became a superstar. On the searching for Cuban Link segment we brought him back to some positive memories of his underrated career. Stay tune cause part three we get to the Bars!!

The legend Cuban Link came through to kick it with the Advocates and brought us all the way back to his beginnings of growing up as a kid in New York City in the 80's and 90's. If there is one thing to be said about this brother its that he is passionate about his friends and will stand up for what's right at no matter the cost. We were honored to sit down with this brother as he tells us endless unheard stories of him and his best friend Big Pun before the fame. This is just Part 1 of 3 so lock in cause it gets better as the Henny continues to flow.

Rick from the Rick H Show is in the building with the Advocates finally. This man wears a lot of hats as he produces, writes and directs multiple podcast shows. He is one of the funniest people we know in the podcast realm and continues to build on his legacy. Rick talks about how he got started in podcasting, how he stays inspired to keep going and how he motivates others like ourselves to keep pushing forward.

Were back for part two with the Reject Dreamer Artz to get in depth of his latest album release "Then I Met You". Artz touches on what inspired the title of the album and the unique sound that fulfills the project. He started a dope new Web series called ARTZ.Today on Youtube showing his journey touring through all the different towns around the globe that he's visited to perform in and talks about the experience of getting to know his fans on a more intimate level. The level that Artz takes his craft too has allowed him to work with known artist like Styles P, Ari Lennox, Trinidad James, Smoke DZA and the list goes on.
