You are listening to the 200th episode of Breaking Atoms. First, the team couldn't have done it without you - the listeners. But there are no balloons or fanfare. Not a single badge or paper crown in sight. Sumit and Chris stay working, and they are joined by none other than Slum Village for their milestone episode.
T3 and Young RJ are currently on tour but took the time to spill the beans on the making of their new album, F.U.N., bringing back disco music, the 20th anniversary of Detroit Deli, and more!

Rappers love a nickname or alias—some more than others. A good alias can become just as renowned as the name on the album cover. Sumit and Chris talk about their favourite Rap aliases - from the appropriate to the silly - and they have some fun with it. By the way, that's Shock G on the cover because his Humpty Hump alias is mad. He rocked a plastic nose and became a whole new person. Please respect the ting. RIP.

On Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, Kendrick Lamar will grace the stage for The Pop Out, a one-off concert to be held at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. Considered a Juneteenth celebration, it will be K. Dot's first major performance after his highly publicised surgical execution of Canadian rapper Drake.
Sumit and Chris have a bit of fun and imagine what the anticipated show will look and feel like. They discuss opening and closing tracks, deep cuts, guest appearances, special moments, and more. In typical fashion, they also go off on tangents praising the new Rapsody album, discussing Pete Rock's consistency, DJ Premier's 'evolving' sound, and a few other useless tidbits.
As K. Dot so eloquently said, "sometimes you have to pop out"... you know the rest, and if you don't, it's your fault.

A few weeks ago, we linked up to talk about the burgeoning Hip Hop triple-threat match that we all thought was about to go down with Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Well, a lot has happened since then. J. Cole said "Sorry, nah" and left Drake and Kendrick to it. Bwoy... it's been a mad couple of weeks. Diss records have been made, shows have been fired, egos bruised, tea spilt, business exposed, family members violated and sleep has been lost. We're here to break it down to the very last compound, from the songwriting, strategy, best lines and more. As much as we love the music, we also explore the cultural themes around culture, identity, appropriation and history that remained prevalent throughout what we think will go down as the best battle in Hip Hop history.

During his quick trip to London, we discussed his new business moves, relaunching Stimulated Music, his love of the UK music scene and why A & R now stands for 'analytics and research'. Stand up and recognise a real don when you hear one.

This week, Sumit and Chris review (kinda) the soundtrack for The Book of Clarence, directed by Jeymes Samuel. The hosts don't even know what the movie is about because it's out this coming Friday, but they love soundtracks.
The duo thoroughly discusses Jay-Z and D'Angelo FINALLY collaborating for the soundtrack for a 10-minute madness. You can also expect a candid chinwag about the importance of soundtracks to the film viewing experience, and Sumit and Chris end by highlighting some of their favourite soundtracks.

Everybody seckle! For our first episode of 2024, we head straight to Brooklyn, New York, to talk to two of the architects of the Bucktown sound. Mr. Walt and Evil Dee are coming to you directly from the house where they produced their seminal work for Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, Finsta Bundy, KRS-ONE and more. The Dewgarde brothers share the inspiration behind their upcoming album, Stifled Creativity and talk us through their early record store adventures, production credits, memories from recording their Brace 4 Impak project and more. Funkmaster Flex-level bombs are dropped when the duo reveal why their stint on Rawkus Records didn't work out. Politics of the business indeed. Happy New Year to all our listeners, and we wish you all a happy, healthy and productive 2024!

A couple of years ago, we discovered the work and sound of DK, a dope producer fresh out of Canada. He's since become a friend and supporter of the show, and it's only fitting that we pass the mic over to him so he can share more of his come-up story.
DK recently dropped his Atlantic Vol. 1 compilation, entirely produced by him, with features from Rasheed Chappell, Cesar Comanche, Carlitta Durand, UFO Fev, Wais P and Ras Kass. Of course, we wanted to know more, so we got into it.

On Sunday, 10th September 2023, our very own Sumit was invited to ITCH FM by Kishmeister to talk about some things with his entire chest. Sternum included. Sumit broke down his vital contributions to The Blog Era, work on this very podcast and much more. Kishmeister and ITCH FM have been very gracious and have allowed us to share the audio with you. Not only do you get to hear more details about Sumit's story, but you also get a better of his music tastes as he selects a few riddims for the playlist. This is an in-depth interview - strictly for live men, not for freshmen.
