“We are the world, we are the Memphis.”
On this very special episode of Just Bluffin’, we chat with Al Kapone. The Memphis hip-hop legend gives us an in-depth history of the Memphis sound and the “gangsta walk.” He talks about his start in music and how he was influenced by Stax and other local legends. Cecilia and Al bond over their love of “taking risks” and Shannon nerds out over hip-hop history. He talks about the Memphis Grizzlies and his Hollywood fame, and how 'Whoop That Trick' fits into both.
