2026 Hip Hop Awards - Don’t Quote Me (Ep. 79)

In this episode, the pod sits down for the big one: the 2026 DQM Hip Hop Awards. We talk everything from the Newcomer of the Year to best album. Our producer Wolf steps from behind the camera to join the pod as we celebrate a huge milestone - the official toast to 3 years of Don’t Quote Me. We chop it up about our favorite (and funniest) DQM moments, the viral clips that cleared 100k, and interview some familiar faces. From the Best Comment to the highly anticipated Moment of the Year, we’re handing out flowers and telling some legendary stories you won’t hear anywhere else.   Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:20 Opening Interviews 2:24 Show Start 3:03 Opening Quote 4:59 Shoutouts + Sponsors 8:17 Cast Intros 10:50 Newcomer of the Year 12:27 Rap Battle of the Year 14:27 Jack Danz Interview 15:16 Worst Moment 17:02 Lyricist of the Year 20:30 Song of the Year 23:10 Music Video of the Year 25:36 DQM Episode of the Year 34:20 Steve Digi & Steve Canal Reactions 38:41 Toast to 3 Years 39:22 Cast Member of hte Year 41:00 Funniest Moment (DQM) 45:00 Viral Clip of the Year (over 100k) 46:27 Best Comment 49:41 Supporter of the Year 52:16 Moment of the Year 54:17 Verse of the Year
