In episode #125, the podcast dives deep with underground hip-hop veteran Memphis Reigns, a lyrical craftsman with over two decades of stories, cyphers, and sonic adventures under his belt. The conversation kicks off with warmth and mutual respect, quickly unraveling the unique path Memphis took—from pausing cassette tapes to write down MC Hammer lyrics in Japan, to forming freestyle circles with fellow beat junkies. With humor, humility, and heart, Memphis opens up about how his love for wordplay and storytelling grew into a lifelong pursuit of authentic hip-hop expression.
Throughout the interview, Memphis shares rich anecdotes about collaborating with legends like Wordsworth, crafting concept albums inspired by Filipino ice cream (yes, Magnolia), and producing introspective verses rooted in 90s nostalgia and grown-man wisdom. The episode is a treasure trove for fans of underground artistry, packed with laughs, lyrical gems, and reflections on hip-hop as a timeless, evolving medium. Whether you're here for the nerdy references, the gritty beats, or the sheer love of the culture, this episode delivers a genuine celebration of the art form—and the community that keeps it thriving.
