Hip hop used to be a whole spectrum: EPMD, Rakim, KRS‑One, Run‑DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Stetsasonic. Nobody sounded the same. (Not unlike many independent artists producing decentralized music in the V4V movement today). Jak Da Mak breaks down that shift in this clip and we go deeper in the full episode. The moment the culture disconnected, and why the roots still matter.

Oh shit. This album is fire! Nice work !

Absolutely, I’ve learned a ton about V4V from them! And discovered some great music.

Oh jeez. It’s probably something I have configured wrong. That said, I’ve had similar issues sending zaps and receiving DMs from Amethyst users (I’m on Primal using iOS). Pretty sure the DM problem is a relay thing, but I’ve also had success going to other apps to send zaps like fountain seems to work pretty good. That said. Appreciation received, my man! Thank you!

Yup! Agree, I think the FB group is a good bridge.

Hell yeah! Was awesome to hear how you guys are doing it!
