info_outlineWelcome to 23&G a podcast that seeks to explore the hopelessly intertwined relationship of rap, it’s birth from trauma and its nearly seamless pairing with marketing and to that end-capitalism.
In episode one we discussed possible theories as to why rappers are so good at selling things… alcohol, SUV’s- even kids cereal. Rappers can and do; sell almost everything.
