Elliott Wilson Experience

Elliott Wilson Experience

The Elliott Wilson Experience is an audio and visual, journalistic, and cultural experience like no other in the landscape. Considered by many, the best Hip-Hop journalist of all time, Elliott’s unique journey and skill sets allowed him the opportunity to make relationships with the most talented artists in the culture for over 30 years. Those relationships will be on display as Elliott takes a different approach to the podcast marketplace by have informal conversations, mostly in organic spaces, without the rigorous structure of just sitting down and having a few podcast mics. Elliott travels freely to speak freely with all of the friends that are currently inspiring him. From heavyweight legacy acts like Common, Pete Rock, and Havoc to young legends and lightning rods like Rapsody, Problem, and Ca$h Cobain. You never know if he’ll pop up at a studio session, a music festival, a New York City rooftop, or label office to ask the questions only he can ask. To still be curious and driven is Elliott’s best skill, and the Elliott Wilson Experience puts both on full display for the world. Enjoy.
