We got right into this week's show by dropping the Double Shot, which features Pensylvannia MC WindchILL's second album, “Self Medication”. We were also joined by the Philly-born rapper over the phone midway through the double shot! We discussed his selling process, the new album, various artists he's shared the stage with and much more! Check him out at www.windchillswebsite.com, www.undergroundhiphop.com and www.cdbaby.com!
East Vancouver's own Global Syndicate stopped by once again, mere days before embarking on tour with Wu-Tang legend Raekwon. We featured a few brand new tracks from the team just to get you a little more hyped up for what you're going to see in Vancouver on February 4th at Boss Nightclub. Global Syndicate EPs will be on sale at every stop the tour makes so don't sleep!
We were then joined by an Urban Renewal Project favourite, Richie Cunning. The Bay Area representative has a new, long anticipated album out now, entitled "Night Train". It's been a long time coming and the album does not disappoint. Richie and the rest of the Rec League have been making moves lately so don't sleep on the gang and check them out at www.RoutineFly.com. Look up Richie Cunning on all your social networking sites and iTunes to keep up with all the madness!
DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST HERE and enjoy the interviews along with a ton of great tunes from the likes of Rich Kidd, Elzhi, K'Naan, J. Cole and many more... Don't sleep!

January 12 PODCAST -- Global Syndicate
We decided to skip the Double Shot to get right into the madness that is the URP's opening mix! Tons of goodness though, so don't get emotional about the phantom Double Shot. It'll be back next week!
Vancity's own Global Syndicate rolled through the studio to let the people know what's up with Vancouver's best kept secret. The collective is no joke and will be opening for the legendary Raekwon the Chef on his upcoming Canadian tour. Keep an eye out for them because they are doing big things! Hit them up on MySpace at www.MySpace.com/WritePathEnt.
Big props go out to Emotionz for holding down the longest running Hip-Hop night in Vancouver. Unfortunately, Monday Night Live will be coming to a conclusion at the end of February. Emotionz will still be rocking the back room of Shine with Dubstep every Wednesday though, so he won't be too far. Congratulations go out to him on running MNL very well and best of luck to him in the future!

December 28, 2009 -- Guest DJ sets from Big Jacks & DJ Nana
We decided to forgo the usual Double Shot this week and get into a guest DJ set from Toronto's Big Jacks. The aim of the mix was to pay homage to the past decade of Hip-Hop, which Jacks did perfectly by highlighting the Diplomats, Kanye West, J-Dilla, Alchemist and more! Hit him up at www.MySpace.com/BigJacks.
Another Ontario DJ then blessed us with a nice set. Waterloo's NaNa came through the studio and gave DJ Sage a rest and hit off a dope mix of his own. We had a lot to discuss with the DJ, producer and MC last week, so make sure you check out that podcast as well! Hit NaNa up at www.MySpace.com/DeeJayNaNa
Garrett from North Starr Entertainment and Chronico Music Group came through and dropped some knowledge, recollections on the past year and dropped some big news on some acts he's going to be bringing to Vancouver. Among others, we should look forward to seeing Raekwon The Chef at Boss Nightclub in early February! Check out www.NorthStarrEnt.com as well as www.ChronicoMusicGroup.com & www.ChronicoMusicGroup.com/cinfamous to keep up!
Many thanks go out to Big Jacks, DJ NaNa and Garrett for helping us make our last show of the year one to remember! We also ended the show by dropping Skillz' 2009 Rap Up! Good stuff! CLICK HERE to download the final podcast of the decade!!

December 22, 2009 PODCAST - DJ NaNa
What it is!
We started the night off right with a Double Shot from Strong Arm Steady's new album, Stoney Jackson, which won't be available until January 26, 2010! Exclusive! It's being released on the legendary Stones Throw Records and sounds absolutely smooth and very dope. Don't sleep on this one because it will be an Album-of-the-Year candidate as soon as it drops!
We then got into an interview with Toronto's own DJ NaNa, who's been doing it big on the DJ, producer and Emcee tip. His work spans from his hometown of Waterloo and North America all the way to South Africa. He spoke on the importance of relationships in Hip-Hop, different scopes of Hip-Hop, mixtapes, production, Rich Kidd, the Vancouver scene and plenty more. Check him out www.MySpace.com/DeeJayNana because he's got a lot to say and is definitely doing big things! If you're in the Vancouver area this week, NaNa will be at Mint Nightclub on December 26th, 2009! He was also talking to us from the women's washroom at a club because he was trying to get some quiet to do the interview! That's a new one...
There was a ton of goodness tonight, music-wise. The Clipse, Tona, Souls Of Mischief, Jeff Spec & NaRai, Freeway, Nas and many more found their way into the mix.
