Its our 8-year Anniversary and we're gonna keep this thing going 2005 til infinity! We spin some new indie hip-hop, with our special guest indie spotlight Traum Diggs. Also, a tribute to the last 8 years of the HoodHype Show as JMack takes you for a spin in Doc Browns time machine all the way back to 2005 with a gift for our die hard fans at the end of this very special episode!

This week we pay homage to New Zealand's incredibly diverse, talented and soulful hip-hop scene! Special guest this week is Christchurch New Zealand's own, Ladi6! Make sure you cop her album "Automatic" on iTunes and Bandcamp!

Get lifted as we navigate through music with subliminal meanings and thought provoking lyrics. This weeks spotlight is Houston, Texas own, Isaac Reid.

All Michigan (mostly Detroit) hip-hop, soul and beats for you to groove to!

More music! More everything comin up! Make sure you're following HoodHype on FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube!

Have you ever been inspired to listen to music outside of Hip-Hop? Who or what inspired you?

Jay-Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail album officially dropped on today on July 8, 2013 and started what could be the beginning of a complete musical revolution. What does this have to do with independent hip-hop?

MOLA1 executes a surprise hijacking of the HoodHype Show for JMack for his birthday.

We brought you a collection of amped up music, some exciting topics and a special sit-in guest with all kinds of energy, Detroit's Nolan The Ninja!

It's all about the calm before the storm and a talk with one of the golden era's finest, Brooklyn's own, Mr. Aziatic, AZ.

This episode we've each selected three songs that sparked a memory, inspired, or reminded us of a certain event in our lives and we're discussing them. What are some hip-hop tracks that bring back memories for you?

We bid farewell to our friend and co-host Major and begin the next chapter of the HoodHype show. You ready for a change? Follow us on twitter @hoodhype, HoodHype on FaceBook, Instagram and HoodHypeblog on YouTube!

Our last Episode before the world implodes upon itself on the Mayan doomsday 12/21/12. It was nice knowin yall. PEACE! (And Happy Holidays!)

The whole team was in the basement with special guest MOLA1 to discuss his debut album and plenty of off-the-wall topics as well as a ton of great indie hip-hop.

Independent music is rough around the edges and thats okay.

Our first live Episode of 2013! A great time we had MOLA1 back in the basement, we discussed our favorite albums and news in 2012 and T.I.s Trouble Man album was up for Blend It or Bump It!

On our way to Episode #200 of the HoodHype show, we invited MOLA1 to sit in with us as we returned to the basement to discuss everything from how the game would change if certain MCs left the game, MCs who have passed and changed it and much more.

We're back with Phro in the building at our other basement this episode. We checked out a new album paid up on some post-A3C debt (Major having his Mayo shot and all our in-show shout outs) and as always, we spun some great independent hip-hop.
