StoriesAboutSongs, now part of the Stony Island Pod family, explores Hip Hop history from the vantage point of my decades as an artist, radio host, promoter, event organizer, journalist, documentarian, artist advocate, label rep, & of course, a fan, from the '70s up until the present.
Each episode explores an artist whose music was inspirational, or a movement in Hip Hop, that made a lasting impression on me, in some shape or fashion. These are the stories of not only how I fell in love with Hip Hop, but how that love has continued to keep me connected.-Kevin Beacham

From doing street promotions in Chicago for Wildpitch Records in the mid-90s, I got to work with some of my favorite artists of the time, and of all-time in some cases; including Ultramagnetic MCs, UMC's, Main Source, O.C., and The Coup.
This episode talks about my work with Wild Pitch, focusing on the first two albums by The Coup, and goes into detail about a few other connections and interactions I continued to have with Boots Riley over the years, where he's remained one of my favorite artists, and I consider him one of the great elite writers in Hip Hop, and beyond, as well. I touch on all of that here...
