Channel 10 Podcast

We're back with the first episode that we recorded in 2016 on the first day of year. We were tired as hell, coming off of the NYE party the night before, and we got into many things, including hallucinations at work caused by sleep deprivation caused by said NYE party, what music from 2015 we think we'll be listing to in the future, and what music we're looking forward to in 2016. We also reflect on the growth and development of the podcast from when we first started until now and what the future may hold, and we also get into a discussion about Future's lock on 2015 and break down some of his lyrics from "56 Nights" with assistance from Rap Genius. It's great to be able to record these episodes in person together, definitely check it out. Please favorite, subscribe, and comment on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher.

Joker The Bailbondsman is a pioneer in Alaskan Hip-Hop. The Anchorage, AK native put his state on his back and has dropped many albums which are now considered coveted rarities and collectible items (on this episode he learns how much some of his projects are going for on eBay!). Through his work ethic, Joker made a name for himself nationally using every pre-internet resource available, which was difficult to do coming from a place that is rarely considered when it comes to having a vibrant Hip-Hop scene. Joker is best known for his videos which were featured on BET Uncut, his features with top rappers such as Bizzy Bone and Freeway, and his news-making street exploits which landed him in prison with a lengthy sentence. In this episode, Joker The Bailbondsman details his upbringing and how he got into music, life in Anchorage and Alaska as a whole, where his name came from, how he made everything happen, and how he used his time being incarcerated to better himself and come back stronger than ever. He drops some gems in this episode that you can apply to your own grind, which makes this episode another must listen. Please favorite, subscribe, and comment on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher.

Cole James Cash is a character. He's the Hip-Hop anti-hero; far from squeaky clean and you never quite know what he's going to do next, but when he shows up with his unconventional flair, you're glad he's there. The enigmatic, masked producer doesn't just put out beat tapes and send beats to rappers, he puts out full thematic bodies of work (such as "Eternal Punishment", "Saigon", and "BBW A Pornographic Opera") and provides emcees with the guidance to sound their best and bring his concepts to life. We speak with Cole James Cash about his upbringing, his musical style and tastes, his previous projects, artists that he's working with, his upcoming Street Fighter themed "Street Champion" project, and so much more.
