 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 音楽

    S2 Ep. 10- New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy Part 2: 1993 + 1994
    2023/09/22
    In part two of New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy, our last episode for season 2, we focus on the years; 1993 and 1994! I recount the stories I heard about 1993 with MF Grimm, Mad Skillz, and the ’93 champion, Supernatural. As for ’94, I explain how my writing for local Chicago publication The Flypaper, created a lane for me to have some “involvement” and a front-row seat to many of the key happenings at the seminar that year, including getting a chance to interview Bobbito Garcia, The Artifacts, Count Bass D, Hard 2 Obtain, Zev Love X, and Muddbones (Cage and Masai Bey) for an article in The Flypaper, which never came out, and ultimately inspired Caught In The Middle magazine, that I started planning with J-bird only weeks after the seminar. And, I share the memories of being at a showcase that had Indigenous Theory, Keith Murray, Rampage The Last Boy Scout, Notorious B.I.G, Craig Mack, and Original Flavor with Jay-Z. Plus, some insight on the actual MC battle itself, which was won by Judgemental from Chicago, who I was in town with. It’s an action-packed episode!!

  • S2 Ep. 9-New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy Part 1: The Road To The Seminar

    S2 Ep. 9-New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy Part 1: The Road To The Seminar
    2023/09/08
    From approximately 1985 until 1994, the New Music Seminar MC Battle For World Supremacy was one of the most exciting and inspiring things for an upcoming MC, especially those whose styles were battle-ready, myself included. Ultimately, this two-part episode is about how I went from an aspiring MC hoping to compete in the contest one day, which I never achieved but did find myself in the audience for the final one ever in 1994. Part two focuses on the years of 1993, and especially my experience attending in 1994. Part one focuses on my path to becoming a battle MC, including the Hip Hop scene in Lake County (North Chicago, Waukegan, and Zion specifically) circa '86-’90, which led to me eventually learning about the NMS MC Battle, and starting to rehearse for my chance to hopefully compete there one day. And, I also touch on the various stories and rumors I was hearing and reading about the early 80s/90s seminar events, and how that was inspiring for what I was doing as an upcoming artist at the time.

  • S2-Ep 8 - A Conversation with Jay-Z Circa 1997

    S2-Ep 8 - A Conversation with Jay-Z Circa 1997
    2023/08/25
    From 1995-2002, I hosted/produced Time Travel Radio on WNUR FM in Evanston/Chicago. One part of the show was regularly doing theme shows telling the history of various artists. In 1996, I did a spotlight show on The Jaz (a.k.a Big Jaz, Jaz-O) and his partner Jay-Z. Then, a year later, as he was promoting his second solo album, I did a Time Travel radio spotlight show on Jay-Z. I was able to interview Jay-Z to get some historical info to use bits and pieces on the show, but I never shared the full interview until now. In this 20-minute interview, at a critical turning point in his career, we have a candid conversation that covers a range of topics, including; early inspirations, battling LL Cool J, decoding hidden lyrics in his music, his relationship with Notorious B.I.G, what happened with his deal with Priority Records, his primary goals with his music, and more! This interview also reveals where the idea for Jay-Z releasing acapellas of his music originated. Be sure to listen to the previous two episodes, which tell the story of The Jaz & Jay-Z. I guess it’s the Time Travel Radio spotlight update… Follow all of Kevin's work here: https://linktr.ee/kevinbeacham21 Follow Stony Island Audio here: https://www.instagram.com/stonyislandpods/?hl=en
