Episode 178: "Manny Ramirez" (w/ Young Cartel)
June 19, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MBWhen it comes to “going viral” via the internet, theres no denying that Young Cartel was one of the first to do it within the Boston social media space. This all started from a feud with 808 Mafia & Waka Flocka Flame years ago. It led to media coverage from a multitude of blogs and even caught the attention of Akademiks. While this sit down was not really intended to talk about that, it is what made the name Young Cartel known on a national scale. After serving a 5yr sentence and being rele...
Episode 177: "Pray For Hooterville" (w/ TOP HOOTER)
June 12, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBFeed The Family is undoubtedly one of the strongest movements to have come out of Boston within the recent years. The history and skill level of all 4 artists compiled has had the streets in a chokehold and this week we finally get the chance to sit down with one of the most unsung heroes from the collective— TOP HOOTER‼️ Dating back to the RNO days with Dun Dealy, TOP HOOTER has always been known for his lyrical prowess. He used to go by the name of P89 but he’s recently underwent a rebran...
Episode 176: "Bridging The Gap" (w/ Frank Nino)
June 05, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBSpringfield, MA: “The City of Firsts” or “Hoop City” as it is known by many nationwide, is known for a number of things. It’s the home of The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the home of WWE legend John Cena amongst other notables, and while the crime rate has shown a decline over the past few years, the Hampden County city is still notoriously known as the most dangerous place in Massachusetts per capita. As much as we can talk about statistics and the things that tourists know, this week ...

May 15, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 79.4 MBWith our mission statement to push the culture forward on multiple accords we take another week off from talking to an artist and invite a guest who's influence goes beyond the music. This will be the 2nd time we invited someone who is within the fashion space but instead of a designer we welcome a name within our city who shakes the room with his presence of music influence which ties into multi facets. Herv Gotti is a tastemaker who might have been known early on as a music manager for the...
Episode 173: "Pod & Recreation" (w/ Charlie MaSheen & KASH)
May 08, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB#CWTFBradio Episode 173: “Pod & Recreation” (w/ #CharlieMaSheen & #KASH ) Surprisingly enough we’ve never recorded a pod with only Chizz & KASH although that was the initial idea for the show’s concept. However, it shouldn’t surprise you how naturally entertaining this duo is! With Charlie’s dramatic rants on whatever he’s feeling strong about at the moment to KASH’s hilarious takes on topics that we can never really tell if he’s serious about or not, you can guarantee that a lot of laughs ...
Episode 172: "From Downtown" (w/ Chizz Capo)
May 01, 2023 04:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBThere aren’t too many guests that we interviewed during the 2020 #QuarantineSeries who we had the chance to get back on the pod in person for a number of reasons but given the track record of them like #LastDays #Oompa & #Millyz we’d have to say #ChizzCapo is in pretty good company! Since his last appearance on the show for episode 23, he hasn’t slacked on giving his supporters music that moves them. The Hyde Park native and ex basketball player has been sharpening his skills in the studio w...

April 24, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBIn what was supposed to be a long overdue podcast with just our hosts, some of our friends had other ideas of their own! It's been almost a year since Charlie MaSheen has had Hundred Round Kado on the pod and like always, The Godfather brings some friends with him to talk about what they going on. This time he came with the creator of the Boston Verzuz platform, A1, and his opponent in the upcoming event on April 29th– the hard spitter King Ace D'General! They also came through with Hood New...
Episode 170: "Hits From A Gamma Rae" (w/ Miranda Rae)
April 17, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 77.9 MBTelling the story of Hip-Hop can't be told without the inclusion of R&B. As we collectively try to shed light on more R&B acts from the region, there is no way we could leave out Miranda Rae! Her powerhouse vocals and lyrics are something that can't be ignored and it was about time for us to talk to the "Thinkin' Bout You" artist about her platform. Miranda is a multi-layered artist who encompasses the sounds of Neo-Soul and can move mountains with her voice. This episode really gives a chan...
Episode 169: "Roc La Familia" (w/ 211, RX Pandemyk, & Nicole of The SoundLab)
April 10, 2023 04:00 - 2 hours - 87.8 MBIf you’re a creative in this scene its almost impossible to not have heard the name “The SoundLab” at least once during the past 10yrs—even if you’ve never created anything there yourself. Since the time of its inception just about 10yrs ago, the SoundLab Recording studio has become the standard in audio recording and more all because of the good people behind the facility and brand! Started by Shane “211” Gooding and his business partner— producer “RX Pandemic”, the space has become a safe ...

April 03, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBOne of our biggest supporters since Charlie ever thought about starting this podcast has to be #LastDays and thats FACTS‼️with a catalog like his, theres nobody who can doubt Last Day’s consistency and commitment to creating quality music. This time he’s back on the platform for the 4th time on his promo tour for his latest body of work “Boston Boy 2”. Now just because we have a lot of love for Days doesnt mean that we always see things the same way. This episode was filled with laughs, shit...
Episode 167: "Fortune Favors The BOLD" (w/ Meech BOLD)
March 27, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 74.6 MBThe Van Buren Records collective seems to always have something creative going on, which is seemingly unstoppable given their 13 man crew. This would be the 3rd solo VB interview on this podcast and we were excited to sit down with our boy Meech BOLD‼️ While Meech isn’t as animated as some of his team members, his lyrical prowess and transparency in music allows him to remain a stand-out. With the drop of his latest album “28” commemorating his most recent birthday, it was only a matter of ...
Episode 166: "The Hustle Academy" (w/ Grimey Gurt)
March 21, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBCharlie MaSheen has once described #Boston as “the biggest small city in the world” due to our global influence and history. In comparison to other larger cities in the country, the housing projects here may not be as big in size but they make up for it in infamy; like Academy Homes in our coveted #Roxbury. This is where our guest Grimey Gurt hails from and his reputation within the rap scene out here falls right in line with the name of his neighborhood. Gurt has been around for a while no...
Episode 165: "Take Risks And Prosper" (w/ CAEV)
March 13, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBThe fact that we can say we had somebody on the show 102 episodes ago makes us feel good about the support you all have shown us in the past 3 years. On episode 63 "Might Don't Make It" we welcomed the Dorchester native CAEV to the platform for the first time and it was definitely one to remember! This time around is no different with the "Dirty Dorchester N*gga" pulling up with great energy and a lot to talk about since the last time we spoke. There have been A LOT of drops and he's back wi...
Episode 164: "Boston Family Three" (w/ Chavo)
March 06, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBGrowing up in the music business comes with many different experiences for different people. Depending on what you’ve been exposed to, it may shy you away from looking at the industry as a career path. This week we’ve had the opportunity to talk to the SossHouse artist Chavo, and he allowed us to get some insight on what is was like growing up as Benzino’s oldest son, amongst other things. In his pursuit of his own path in music, Chavo tells us more about his story growing up in Boston then ...
Episode 163: "The Elevation" (w/ 8 Zipp)
February 27, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBIf you’re truly a fan of this diverse Boston Hip-Hop scene it would be fair to say 8 Zipp is one of your favorites. Not only is he one of ours, he’s one of the most consistent and exciting names when it comes to street sounds. It hasn’t even been a full 6 months since the last time we welcomed the Shooterz Muzik artist to the pod, but with what’s been going on with his brand we felt it was only right for him to make another appearance & deliver another classic #RedCupsAndRap freestyle like h...
Episode 162: "In High Fashion" (w/ Phor Popes)
February 20, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBFashion and music go together like peanut butter & jelly, macaroni & cheese, black Air Force Ones & a Glock, etc! However, we are 3+ yrs old and have yet to interview a creative within the fashion design space— until now. After building a relationship with the Boston bred Pho Popes, we finally got the chance to bring him on to the pod and discuss his genius. Phor believed in us so much so that he even invited us to come out to a New York Fashion Week event— specifically the Fashion Life Tour...
Episode 161: "God's Child" (w/ Luke Bar$)
February 14, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBArtistry is such a loosely used term these days and we often forget how much work and effort goes into creating something so physically intangible as music. Its a feeling that can’t be described but once you experience it, you just know it’s right. That sensation holds true for a lot of listeners who heard Luke Bar$ for the first time. After recently dropping a masterfully put together project titled “Angels Never Die”, Luke pulls up on us— without his Van Buren Records brothers this time an...
Episode 160: "No Bidness Like Show Bidness" (w/ Showly)
February 06, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBFor years many people have been trying to push the agenda of “New England Hip-Hop” and have been undoubtedly unsuccessful. There can be multiple explanations for that, but mainly because only 3/6 states in the region have ever really shown any promising talent in the genre. Recently, we have had the opportunity to learn about an artist out of CT who has been making his rounds in the Hip-Hop circuits and has an undeniable sound and story to tell. This artist is from the Bridgeport area and he...
Episode 159: "Big Pressure" (w/ OneShotAce)
January 30, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MBWe always love it when we come across an artist and the first thing you think to yourself is “why haven’t I heard of this guy before?” When the packaging and marketing are as good as the lyrics and the vibes, the music is truly undeniable and becomes infectious to anyone open to hearing something new and fresh. This hold true for the FBL artist OneShotAce! While none of our hosts were familiar with his music prior to his latest project “Big Pressure”, we instantly became fans after a few sec...
Episode 158: "Hood Blues" (w/ Youngintrue)
January 23, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBThe street-themed undertones and high-end fashion references are something that most rap fans take to when they hear a singer deliver their vocals mixed in with that type of content. When it comes to R&B most people naturally think “heartbreak and love songs” but this particular artist we have on the podcast this week has created a lane for himself that he classifies as “Hood Blues” and we cant get enough of it. Youngintrue is an artist/producer/songwriter who grew up in Jamaica Plain’s noto...
Episode 157: "Mission to Create" (w/ Mission Mike & King Brickz)
January 16, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBWhen you've been through some things, it becomes your job to make sure that others after you don't have to make the same mistakes you've made along the way. We can only end certain trends and curses if we have the courage enough to speak out on them and give the youth a way to move forward as better versions of those before them. This is the message that the Mission Hill raised MC who goes by Mission Mike is conveying these days. A few stories about past endeavors are not reasons to glorify ...
Episode 156: "Coming In Hot: 'The 157' Episode" (w/ StripLife: Cash Gotti, Prince Smooth & Dutchy DoBad)
January 09, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBWhen it comes to Fields Corner culture, there isn't too many guys who throw it up for that side of town like these guys! Cash Gotti, Prince Smooth, & Dutchy DoBad are the 3 core artists who make up the collective more infamously known as "StripLife" and they are an integral part of some of this musical street culture from our city. As the first guests of this calendar year we are more than excited to welcome these fellas to The Garage @ The Sound Lab to chop it up with us with what they've b...
Episode 155: "Neat & On The Rocks" (w/ Hennessy)
January 02, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 81.5 MBFor the past two plus years we have caught the attention of the RI based artist Hennessy who's angelic voice and radio-ready sounds have been making a lot of noise in and outside of our region. We finally have the opportunity to welcome her to the show and give her her flowers while learning more of her story. With radio play on nationally syndicated stations like Power 105 in NYC, co-signs from players in the game like PartyNextDoor & Kash Paige, opening for big names like Joe, Monica, A Bo...
Episode 154: "2022 Recap" (w/ CWTFB Radio: Charlie MaSheen, Shanelle Shanté, & KASH)
December 26, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBWHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY BUT "THANK YOU"! Thank you to the supporters, thank you to the nay-sayers, and anyone in between! This is the last episode that will drop in the 2022 calendar year and it's been one hell fo a year to say the least. Coming off of our 2nd year win at the Boston Music Awards for "Best Music Podcast of the Year" is something that has never been done since the creation of that specific award in 2019 and we are proud to say that we are the first to do it. The broader spectrum ...
Episode 153: "God's Plan" (w/ Cyrus DeShield)
December 19, 2022 05:00 - 2 hours - 88.7 MBAs our last guest of 2022, it's only right that we bring on an artist who's been a major voice and influence within our city and scene for a long time now. When we think about the major R&B players from Boston we often refer to Bobby Brown, Mike Bivins and the rest of New Edition, but there are others who have played a hand in the story of others; even the guys just mention previously. So this week we welcome Cyrus Deshield, the singer/songwriter originally from Liberia who came to the South...
Episode 152: "Hoot Motion" (w/ BoriRock)
December 12, 2022 05:00 - 2 hours - 84 MBIf you know anything about the current stars of the Boston music scene, it would be impossible for you to not know the larger-than-life, loud talking, high energy and perfectly entertaining rapper out of Dorchester, BoriRock! This is Teflon Hoot's 4th appearance on the pod and we have openly supported him since day 1! Literally, he and Dun Dealy were the 1st guest ever on this platform. Almost 3 years later, Bori has captured the ears of the street music enthusiasts inside and outside of the...
Episode 151: "Here's A Reminder" (w/ Triy)
December 05, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBIt's been exactly 100 episodes since Charlie MaSheen & KASH have sat across from the Mattapan bred crooner, Triy, and the timing couldn't be any more perfect to welcome him back to the pod! After their last meet, the R&B artist has been keeping his creativity active while working with other artists like Tailored & Bia Javier under his imprint T.RI.Y. Records, dropped new music and ultimately led up to his 2022 effort "Did You Forget". While cultivating his first headlining show at the histor...
Episode 150: "A Friendly 30" (w/ Ricky Mazarati)
November 21, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBWhen its all said and done you cant mention #iFori or even #TrottieGang for that matter without mentioning a name like Ricky Mazarati. Hailing from his side of town, he’s been involved in music for years but recently seemed to play the background and put his resources into others around him. We’ve been meaning to have a conversation w/ him for a while and now we finally got the opportunity to dive into his story. Join #CharlieMaSheen & #KASH as we host Ricky Mazarati in a talk about his star...
Episode 149: "The "Shanelle" Bag" (w/ Derek Gaines aka Amerika)
November 14, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 80.7 MBIt's been quite a while since we've sat across from a guest who lives so heavily in the social media comedy space; 84 episodes ago to be exact. Everybody loves a good laugh and within the last the last 5-10 years the internet has been completely undefeated. During that time, there have been some emerging talents within our own city who have made a name for themselves whether it be from online skits, stand-up, and even films. Amongst those names, one of the stand outs have been Derek Gaines w...
Episode 148: "Domingo's Son" (w/ Termanology)
November 07, 2022 05:00 - 2 hours - 84.7 MBThere's no greater feeling than when we have a repeat guest and we're able to track the progress from our previous sit down with them. In reality if there is no progress there probably wouldn't be a 2nd sit down. In this case we're talking about one of the most consistent Rap artists in the game, let alone Massachusetts! Termanology left our podcast last November with 43 projects out in total and returned this week with 45! The Hip-Hop staple made his way to eXpozedTV Studios for the first t...
Episode 147: "Views From The Pit" (w/ Angel Ocasio)
October 31, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 77.1 MBFor most music enthusiasts, the best way for them to feel connected to their favorite artists is through live performances. Seeing their favorite records come to life is probably the closest they’ll ever get to said artist. In the instances that they aren’t privy to these experiences they may heavily rely on videos or photos to capture the moments on those stages and there are people who help capture the vibes. Angel Ocasio is one these people and he’s had the opportunity to shoot some stunn...
Episode 146: "Hearse In A Verse" (w/ FUNERAL Ant Bell)
October 24, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 48 MBWhen a lot of Hip-Hop artists are asked how they began writing music, you often get an answer that revolves around poetry and creative writing. Popular belief would lead you to believe that some of the best lyricists have that kind of background and make thought provoking music that defines more than just a song. This holds true for the #SouthEnd native, FUNERAL Ant Bell! Since hearing some of his music for the first time in 2020, we were instantly drawn to his descriptive writing which almo...
Episode 145: "Not Ya Average Dro" (w/ Alejandro Blanco)
October 18, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MB2022 has been the year of the worker. While some were still talking about 2020 and last year, the doers brushed yesterday off and got their “right now” on! One of the proactive artists who has been working tirelessly this year is definitely Alejandro Blanco. With his traction from “A3” that dropped in 2021, the multi-talented crooner gave us 2 albums and 1 EP and the year isn't even over yet! The last night we got to talk to the Fearless Music Group star, it was over a year ago when he pulle...
Episode 144: "Edumacation" (w/ Ned Wellbery (Leedz) of Leedz Edutainment)
October 10, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 79.5 MBSome people outside of the commonwealth may not know much about the Boston Rap/Hip-Hop scene but they might know the name Leedz Edutainment and the venue “The Middle East” in Cambridge. There was a time when those two names went hand in hand. For about 20yrs Ned “Leedz” Wellbery basically owned all the major rap events that were taken place at that iconic landmark and brought out some of Rap’s biggest names to come rock the crowd. When you’re the face of anything, however, EVERYONE is going ...
Episode 143: "Dover Street Mob" (w/ Van Buren Records)
October 03, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours - 88.1 MBThis is a podcast thats been 101 episodes in the making since Jiles pulled up for the first time. This time he brought some friends along w/ him from his coveted collection of creatives, Van Buren Records. Meech Bold, Andrew Regis, and Luke Bars accompanied Jiles and pulled up to eXpozedTV Studios to represent their set and talk about their culture and latest album “DSM”‼️ Its not too often that we come across a 13 man crew that fires off on all cylinders. More than half of them are MCs, so...
Episode 142: "Have Your Cake & Eat It" (w/ Cakeswagg)
September 26, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBIt’s always refreshing to talk to an artist who has multiple layers of creativity up their sleeves. When it comes to rappers— a large majority are expected to touch on certain topics and maintain a certain image to make themselves appealing to the masses. This is often particularly true when it comes to the “femcees” but luckily for us in Boston we have a handful of lady lyricists who are breaking the mold; and one of them who stands out amongst many is the Roxbury native, Cakeswagg! We’ve ...
Episode 141: "FN.F12" (w/ 8 Zipp)
September 19, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MBHands down, when it comes to the hottest artists in the city, there is NO WAY you cannot mention 8 Zipp! His energy, his consistency, his leadership and his vibrato are just a few factors that play into him being a factor for the next to blow out of Boston. We have championed the whole Shooterz Muzik team since our earliest days but dating back to episode 6, and then episode 82, we have especially shown our interest in Zipp and his ability to bar up. A lot has happened since the last time he...
Episode 140: "If You Know, You Know" (w/ Dun Dealy)
September 12, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBSince the beginning of this podcast you’ve seen the name Dun Dealy as a reoccurring guest from Episodes 2, 77, 99, and now 140. Dunny was also a part of the largely spoken about cypher we hosted at Le Trap Couture. Needless to say we’re fans of the quality street music that Dun Dealy has created over the years and we never fail to throw it up for our guy when the opportunity arises. This time we had the Feed The Family boss pull up shortly after the release of his most recent album “10 On A ...
Episode 139: "Indictment Rap" (w/ Cez)
September 05, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBWith Brockton being one of the leading cities in MA for pools of musical talent, it doesn’t surprise us that we continue to find out about promising rappers out of the City of Champions. This week we had the opportunity to talk to an MC by the name of Cez; a lyricist with a very distinct voice who is seemingly determined to take his craft to the next level! We first heard of Cez earlier this year when he released his 2 pack single BTA (Before The Album) and displayed his rapping abilities an...
Episode 138: "Stunna Shades & Haterade" (w/ Charlie MaSheen, Shanelle Shanté, and KASH)
August 29, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBWhile our podcast is more guest driven, we also often have our own very strong opinions on a lot that is going on in the world around us. For nearly 5 months we haven’t made a push to have a sit down amongst our hosts but here we are with another long overdue and NEEDED podcast. This week we go in on a number of topics like the first AI rapper and ACTUALLY trying to preserve the culture, #RKelly’s music vs him as a person, Biggie’s daughter, #IrvGotti & #Ashanti & SO MUCH MORE‼️ We actually ...
Episode 137: "Rec, Cups, & Rap" (w/ Scoobz Frm Boston)
August 22, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBMost artists have day-to-day managers and its been like that for quite some time now. While it’s not always necessary, it does become very convenient to have somebody who will manage your bookings, studio sessions, and more while you focus on the creative side of things. What makes a manager good at his or her job is variable and sometimes even intangible. Scoobz Frm Boston is one of those managers who’s network and skillset has allowed him to get his artists within some winning circles rela...
Episode 136: "Shootin' For Jeezus" (w/ MITYMAOSE)
August 15, 2022 04:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MBIn the grand scheme of things, Boston has bred more music producers who have either worked with or placed for big name artists than vocal artists. While the internet has its advantages to bridge that gap, the guys behind the actual music tend to become unsung heroes unless their stories are being closely documented. This is why we wanted to take the time to give a Hyde Park native his flowers this week–none other than MITYMAOSE, a guy who is the architect of great sounds and has been working...
Episode 135: "Pyrex Visionary" (w/ Shaykh Hanif)
August 08, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBHailing from the South End area of Boston is the mellow flowing, thought provoking, and street referencing lyricist Shaykh Hanif! We first heard of Hanif years before starting the podcast, when he rapped under the moniker of “Nino Brown”—all while he was in prison serving a 10yr sentence 😳. Since his release he’s rebranded himself and teamed up with some other notable MCs from the scene while working on his solo career as well. If you recall, we talked to the “No Mistaking That” artist prev...
Episode 134: "Hart Made of Base" (w/ Fuego Base of BSF Records)
August 01, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MBLike many metropolitan cities throughout the country, Hartford, Connecticut has a drastic duality to its identity. While some from affluent spaces view the 18 square mile city as the nation’s insurance capital, there is a grungier side to Hartford—the side that if you’re not from there, you don’t go there.
