On this week’s episode of the @RoadPodcast, the fellas welcome hip hop DJ, turntablist and original member of the turntablist group The X-Ecutioners, Rob Swift (@brolicarm) with guest co-host @DJGoldfingerNYC.

He discusses the connection between reparations and hip hop (34:01) and the chain reaction that led up to hip hop forming in the Bronx (58:01).
