Love the format, the info..Guest and entertainment is grade a! And good to see PJ butta Landing on his feet💯

I liked the Grand Puba episode but the Smooth B episode seemed incomplete. They didn’t really discuss the third album and no mention of the fourth album at all. Then the host slams us with the passing of Smooth B’s wife with no backstory as to what she succumbed to and how he and his family dealt with her death. No real discussion on his current projects either. If you’re gonna focus on legendary artists you have to delve deep and give a complete story. The ending left me disappointed and I feel it didn’t do Smooth B justice.

Great pacing; upbeat; insightful; DOPE! Hats of to Craig & the team for putting together my new favorite podcast!

Man Double salute to Craig, this podcast has me reliving my teens and twenty’s all over again. I grew up with hip hop’s beat era! This is like the dope ish ever yo and I’m from the south, the dirty south ATL! Mannnnnnn! I have enjoyed ever single podcast the fresh era has!

Equal parts education and entertainment. Hear great stories about all the artists who made the songs you used to jam in the club and now jam in the grocery store. An auditory time machine back to the golden age of hip hop.

I grew up in this era. This music was the soundtrack of my life. The joy This pod brings me with each episode is immeasurable. Its giving me a way to connect with sounds meaningful to me in a more personal way. Pretty dope. Thank you. 🙏

Great work on Gunz, that story about early BX was dope

I love hearing these stories Quick n direct

Great podcast I wait weekly for the new episodes. I have listened to every episode. Thank you for the inside information from the artist.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I love this show. I especially love the interview style and how in depth the artists get in these interviews. My new favorite podcast!!!

I’ve been rocking with this podcast since day 1. These are the guys I grew up listening to. I love all these stories. So far season 3 the stories feel rushed in a way they weren’t for the 1st 2 seasons. This season I’ve felt like the stories have been condensed. Hopefully this gets better. Keep the content coming!

Run DMC - Walk this Way Profile Records!

I have to say that this show represents the true elements of hip-hop by far. These are artists that I grew up listening to and to hear their stories that go along with their music is truly amazing!

It showed up on my IG and I’m hooked

Super Hip Hop and I Love it 👊🏿

Love this!

Hip-hop

This production is narrated with high enthusiasm and contains informative perspectives of the guests!

So often hip hop pioneers are forgotten and this show gives these amazing artists the opportunity to recount their lives, careers and contribution to hip hop culture. I am all the way here for it! Keep going! I love this!!!

You get to see a fresh perspective of hip hop and the real life within the music!!

That’s what this podcast is … fresh and dope. One of the best done podcasts telling the stories of the biggest artists back in the day.

Really well produced and well told stories. Keep the content coming fellas! How about Greg Nice, Terminator X or Positive K?

Great show! I love the behind the scene stories. Fresh Two Deaf Podcast

This is so dope! The stories and how it is produced you guys do a really good job!

Just found this series, don’t know how I missed it. Craig does an awesome job with the show. Great interviews with some great legends of hip hop. Show is great giving info I hadn’t known about some of these artists and bringing me back to listening to them.

Craig smith does such a great job. The stories are put together perfectly. Look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work

Love this podcast - to the point and keeps you engaged - appreciate the content and the way it comes together. Peace

Obviously you expect this to be an in depth history of Doom, but it’s star-studded cast only masks the fact that absolutely zero research was done on who was. Even after this, Doom is still a mystery.

My new favorite podcast!! Keep Em coming!! 5 stars!!

Keep em coming, love listening to all the stories getting information on all my favorite rappers

As a middle and high schooler, other than Wu-Tang, no 2 groups impacted me more than Das Efx and Black Moon. To be able to hear both of their stories in one week is incredible. It brought me all the way back. Back in the day information like this wasn’t available so to be able to finally hear some of the back stories is incredible. Keep up the great work and thank you for shining a light on some of the best that ever did it!

They got it correct. Grand slam out of the park!!! Hearing all the back stories only furthers my love for hip hop from this era. As an old hip hop head, I will recommend this podcast to those ready for the knowledge. Peace and Love!!!

If you love these artists and their music, you’ll love this podcast. It’s like an audio version of your favorite rap magazine.

There are plenty of hip hop focused podcasts that mainly focus on artists who sold millions of records. There aren’t many who focus on hip hop artists that don’t. Here is one that does. It’s cleanly produced and well paced. I learn so much about my favorite artists.

Drive a truck in the oil fields in Texas from Brooklyn NY and came up in this era. Never heard such a great articulation perfectly put together and the music and artist stories brings back so many memories . Great job !! Keep up the greet work

🎧🔥🎧

I’m not a person that normally writes reviews or even comments publicly. But I have to say, this one won me over and I think they deserve all the praise they can get. INCREDIBLE SHOW!

This has to be in its own category cause this is an actual “podcast” that has replay value. The work put into something like this is appreciated. Thank you and please continue to put out quality like this

This is hip hop at its finest!!!

Well written and directed!! Keep it up

Golden Era hip hop is like the classic rock genre. Much like classic rock, this era of hip hop is filled with its own stories of triumphs, drama, falls, and rebirths. Fresh Era has provided a platform for these unheard stories to be heard, appreciated, and reminisced. Sit back and just listen…

I love this because not that many people have this idea and it’s interesting

Do you love ‘90s Hip-Hop? Stop reading this review and start listening IMMEDIATELY. Quality production, excellent host, CRAZY GOOD stories from the best of the best in Hip-Hop.

The title says it all

Detail of the stories are amazing I can’t wait for the next ones to air!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW

I’ve been waiting for this interview and info a LONG time. Thank you so much for getting the guys to talk. They are very much still loved. Son Doobie is one of the most talented rappers there has ever been.

My favorite new podcast! I listen to new episodes immediately when they drop. Very well-produced, always fun, always edifying, at-times very emotionally affecting—all around a gem! Golden age hip-hop fiends, in particular: Fresh Era is indispensable. 💎

As someone who will one day be sitting in a rocking chair saying how music isn’t like it was back in my days (heck, I’ve already been saying that for 20 years) this is a well-produced trip down memory lane. That it’s made with reverence by heads that weren’t there for that era gives me hope for my rapidly approaching “old man yells at cloud” days.

Leaves you wanting more… We’ll done.
