What’s it like to navigate the often gritty rap scene of Lansing, Michigan? Join us as Iced Out from the Hyena Squad takes us behind the scenes of their formation, their struggles, and their triumphs. From the initial sparks of their connection through mutual friends to collaborating with big names like 2 Chainz, Iced Out shares their journey and the challenges of making it in a region overshadowed by the likes of Detroit and Chicago. We also explore the pack mentality that defines their group and keeps them united against the odds.
Hear Derange's unique perspective as he joins the conversation, bringing stories from Blytheville, Arkansas, and his ties to Memphis and Lansing. Dive into a remarkable story of resilience as we discuss the inspiring journey of a former inmate who turned to faith and music to rebuild his life, eventually co-owning successful record labels and collaborating with legends like DMX. Our conversation doesn't shy away from the hard truths, touching on the social issues that influence Michigan's music scene and the redemptive power of art and spirituality.
We also take time to remember the iconic Jerry West, discuss the challenge of creating sequels to legendary hip-hop albums, and ponder the influence of cancel culture on media personalities. Excitement builds as we look forward to upcoming releases from veteran artists like Rakim and Nas, and share our anticipation for an exclusive interview with Faith Newman. Join us for heartfelt shoutouts to the hip-hop community and a celebration of the connections that keep this culture thriving.
