Uncommon Radio reaches a milestone at 50 episodes and celebrates with Nasa sitting down for a long form interview with Billy Woods.  Billy Woods has recently dropped the critically acclaimed "History Will Absolve Me", undoubtedly one of the best releases of 2012.  Nasa and Billy discuss a variety of topics including Billy's familial roots, his thoughts on beats and beatmakers, the reaction to the album, the problems with digital music consumption and much more. 

The tracks & instrumentals spoken over played during the show in order were:

Duck Hunt (Instrumental) - Produced by AM Breakups

Pump Up the Volume - Produced by Nasa

Freedman's Bureau (Instrumental) - Produced by Marmaduke

Crocodile Tears - Produced by Willie Green

Bill Cosby (Instrumental) - Produced by Willie Green

The Party - Produced by Nasa

The Wake (Instrumental) - Produced by Willie Green

DMCA - Produced by Willie Green

All tracks and beats above are taken from Billy Woods' "History Will Absolve" LP (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/history-will-absolve-me-feat./id514690530) except for "The Party" which was from Uncommon's "We Are, Vol. 1" (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/we-are-vol.-1-uncommon-records/id170918894).

An episode Nasa has long wanted to do finally comes to pass and with great timing.  Public Enemy recently dropped a new album titled, "Most of My Heroes Still Don't Appear on No Stamp", so what better time to really take a look at Public Enemy's Post-Def Jam career?  Too many people aren't aware that Public Enemy has continued to build on their already strong discography since the split with Def Jam in the late 90s.  It's actually been a dozen terrific years and at least 7 original albums since that time.  Public Enemy has endured the lack of major label backing, the attack of the so called critics and much more to be one of the top touring acts in hip-hop today.  Nasa thought it was time to "Educate the Suckas".  He put together the following tracklist, complete with the album each track is from, for a semi Post-Def Jam "Best Of".  Support Public Enemy and Chuck D for continuing to go strong.  Salute PE always!

The Night Creatures (Lyle Horowitz & Midpoint) were in the house for an interview with Nasa.  Nasa caught up with them while Midpoint was in NYC from the Bay Area, the production duo talked about thier upcoming follow up album together, producing from long distance from each other, the "beat scene", their love of The Twilight Zone and much more.  We also played a number of tracks from them, including 2 from Lyle's Twilight Zone inspired, "Who Are We Part 4", which won't be available until July 4th (also known as one of the two Zoner Holidays in the US).  Here's what was played, all of it either Lyle, Midpoint or Night Creatures related:

Nasa reacts to an article on the Daily Swarm website featuring a writer from SPIN Magazine.  They discussed the "Fall" of Left Field rap music during the period of 2004-2008.  He talks about his experience going through that era and places blame on the writers and radio stations themselves, not the people.  This episode is a big "fuck you" to all the sleepers during that period and all the so called writers that are crawling back.  One long set this time, it's all prog, all the time and is made up of artists that have been around for a decade, came up during that dark period and some new faces.  Here's the playlist, complete with links this time:
