We’re back with a brand-new series: Shootout!

It’s the podcast that puts hip-hop’s premier producers and MCs up against each other in a best-of-five battle to find out who’s the greatest.

We draw tracks from each side to face each other, and after discussing them we use the three-man vote to decide who wins.

In our inaugural episode, two of New York’s top production teams step up to the spot – The Beatnuts and Da Beatminerz. During the shootout, we discuss the beats, the bars and how their production techniques have evolved over the years.

Shootout: the podcast that takes hip-hop to penalties!
