About this episode

Two-time Grammy winner (the first ever for Best Rap Performance) – and host of the web series 'Vinyl Destination' – DJ Jazzy Jeff digs into the crates sharing his early days of a FIRST JOB frying chicken at Roy Rogers restaurants, his love of music, and his lack of hobbies. Are the Grammys and other music award shows a SCAM? Jeff details the ways the music industry and radio stations have done a disservice to truly original music and how DJs and musicians can breakthrough now. @Rod4Short addresses the ways you can tastefully navigate Will Smith conversations at the job without being sent to HR. He also rains praise upon the unsung heroes of the nightlife – women security guards.
