Mississippi doesn’t get loud—but it speaks volumes.

In this episode, we travel through the muddy waters of the Delta to spotlight one of the South’s most soulful and slept-on regions in hip hop. From the blues-born spirit of storytelling to the powerful voices of David Banner, Big K.R.I.T., Dear Silas, Akeem Ali, and more—we trace how Mississippi forged its own sound without industry co-signs or major labels.

We also highlight the producers behind the boards, like Banner, K.R.I.T., and Trackman, who gave Mississippi artists the sound to match their message.

Featured tracks, backstories, and bars from the heart of the South.
