Episode 5: The Neptunes
It’s impossible to do the Neptunes production discography justice with one episode (they produced more than 100 songs in just 2003 alone!), this episode contains a selection of some old favourites and a few obscurities that’ll kickstart a re-obsession and lead to you listening to their entire back catalogue for the rest of the year.
Tracklist:
The Neptunes - The Battle: Speed N.O.R.E. - Oh No (Remix featuring Capone, Jadakiss, Big Punisher, Maze & Musalini and Angie Martinez) E-40 - Quarterbackin’ (featuring Clipse) Foxy Brown - Candy (featuring Kelis) Roscoe P Coldchain - Hot (featuring Pusha T) Philly’s Most Wanted - Cross The Border 504 Boyz - D-Game (featuring Master P, Krazy and Pusha T) N*E*R*D - Rock Star (Electronic Version) 702 - I Still Love You (featuring Pharrell) T.I. - What’s Yo Name? (featuring Pharrell) Clipse - Gangsta Lean (featuring Clipse) Philly’s Most Wanted - Please Don’t Mind (featuring Andre Wilson)
This episode is brought to you by LEVINS! Specifically, all of his podcasts! He’s putting up a new episode of each of his five podcasts every day this week, including Hey Fam, The Mitchen, Old Raps, Serious Issues and All The Small Games! If you listen to all of them, you’ll be able to put together a secret message that will maybe give you access to something cool and/or disappointing! Fun!

Episode 3: Early No Limit Records
In this episode of Old Raps, Levins plays a bunch of his favourite songs from the early days of No Limit Records, when Master P and his brothers C-Murder and Silkk The Shocker used money from a malpractice suit to start a record label in Richmond, California. No Limit Records would eventually move to New Orleans and sell millions of records, but this episode is about the records they made in the Bay Area before they blew up.

Episode 2: Dungeon Family
You’ve definitely heard at least 50 Dungeon Family songs in your lifetime. Maybe they were mostly Outkast tracks, a few Cee-lo songs, and Waterfalls by TLC.
Dungeon Family are the absolutely legendary collective from Atlanta whose core members include Outkast’s Andre 3000 and Big Boi, Goodie Mob’s Cee-Lo, Big Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo, Killer Mike, Cool Breeze, Backbone and the production/songwriting team of Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown, better known as Organized Noize.
I could put a two hour show together for every one of these artists, and maybe one day I will, but for now, here’s a celebration of one of coolest collectives in rap. I’ve tried to keep it both broad and obscure, finding weird cuts and unreleased jams from the ridiculously overstocked back catalogue. There’s a surprisingly large number of songs in this episode that are definitely not raps, but they are old, like the selection of songs from the boy band Bobby Valentino was in when he was 16, or every one of the soulful sex jams by the devastatingly underrated Sleepy Brown.
This episode assumes that you’re already familiar with all of Outkast’s albums, Goodie Mob’s back catalogue and the Organized Noize Netflix documentary from last year - but you can definitely go back and experience those after listening (spoiler alert: they’re incredible).
I listened to most of these records for the first time through cheap computer speakers attached to an iPod while flipping burgers five years back. Feel free to recreate those ideal listening provisions before tuning in.

Episode One: Unsigned Cash Money
This is episode #1 of Old Raps, my brand new radio show for lnwy.co. This episode is a sequel of sorts to the Cash Money Bounce Mix I made in 2015. That mix featured songs produced by Mannie Fresh for Cash Money Records in the 1990s and so does this episode - only the mix was all New Orleans bounce tracks. This episode is all about the more straight-up hip-hop tracks Mannie Fresh produced during those same years - a retrospective of Cash Money from 1992 till just before they signed a huge deal with Universal Records in 1998.
New episodes of Old Raps will drop at the start of each month. Every month I'll be focusing on a different label, producer or region, playing a few of my favourite songs and rambling a little in between them.

Lately I'm enjoying Sho-chan old raps I wish he has more free time to write things as good at this one...his old raps reflect a lot is own feelings and thoughts.
