08 Buju Banton: Too Too Bad and Built to Last

Buju Banton pulls up to the Heavy Hitter DJs podcast. The reggae and dancehall legend breaks down his new album Too Too Bad, out July 17 on VP Records, the Butterflies single, and why he split the record into three separate rollouts for CD, vinyl, and streaming. He gets into the 90s New York scene when reggae and hip hop ran hand in hand, the philosophy that keeps him reinventing himself across four decades, the Kanye record that came together during COVID, his tribute to Mr. Bogle, and the boys home he funds back in Jamaica. DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs sit down with one of the most enduring voices in the music. Too Too Bad drops July 17. Real drum, real bass, back to foundation. The Heavy Hitter DJs Podcast is hosted by DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, DJ Kast One, and L. Boogs. The show is produced and distributed by Merrick Studios.

07 Rene McLean: The Business of Music vs The Music Business

Rene McLean, aka RPM, is one of the architects most people never hear about. He put DJ Enuff on, broke records at Virgin, RCA and Electra, started rapping the vans before anyone else, and built the Mix Show Power Summit into the industry monster Jay-Z name dropped years later. He also ran the two room office on 38th Street where the Heavy Hitters, the record pool, the magazine and Dipset mixtapes all happened at once. This week he sits with L. Boogs, DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo, and DJ Kast One to walk the whole run, from a $30 a week internship to buying catalogs with BlackRock. Tap in.
