Call Out Culture

For part 3 of Backpack Christmas, we're going to the mid '90s in New York for 2 major label acts that were certainly in the underground sphere: Hard 2 Obtain, who dropped 1 album in "Ism & Blues" and World Renown, who had 2 big singles but no album!

This is the 2nd episode in our Backpack Christmas series where we dig into the backpack artists of days past. This week we talk about the Atlanta group Massinfluence and the Kings of Canada Swollen Members.

Ok, this is the one for spooky season! Since the first episode in 2021, where ALASKA was the ferryman wading us all through the "Halloween" franchise and the similarities between horror purists and hip hop purists regarding "Illmatic", Zilla has caught up to the filmography of Michael Myers and now both guys go one-for-one: what Nas album is the ideal match for each "Halloween" flick! What "Halloween" installment matches up with "It Was Written", "Untitled", "King's Disease", or "Street's Disciple"? You'll have to tune in...or risk being slaughtered by a man in a poorly painted William Shatner mask!

Alaska has a theory that Halloween and Nas have the same career arc. Enjoy this wild off the cuff theorizing of this lost episode from Zilla and Alaska back in 2021.
