DOD45 Throwback Episode – Originally Released August 22, 2021 💀SPOTIFY WIPED US OUT.

And today, we’re revisitingEpisode 14 featuring hip-hop producerDJ Hoppa! 🎧🔥 ⚠️FAIR WARNING: This wasearly, unpolished, still-figuring-it-out DOD45. No slick pacing. No clean graphics. Mic quality?Rough. Tai’s confidence?Low. His pen work?Meh. Even less of co-host Adrienne, no proper theme music,but plenty of awkward charm.If you love raw, behind-the-scenes podcast chaos—this one's for you. 🎶In this throwback episode, DJ Hoppa sits down with Tai while he sketches a Taurus DJ spinning on Pioneer gear… with a LEGO fan watching. (Yeah, it made sense at the time.) 🚀What’s in this episode? ✔️The early grind—Hoppa’s first 3 albums with Mine+US 🎼 ✔️That time he paid 2Mex for a feature while still an aspiring producer 💰🎤 ✔️The game-changing moment: his video with Gavlyn blowing up 📹🔥 ✔️His first-ever vinyl—made possible by selling a beat to Bliss N Eso for just a few hundred bucks 🎶💿 ✔️AND… they talk about hats. Like, a surprising amount. 🧢😂 🔥Plus, another round of Sophie’s Choice—because tough decisions are part of the fun: 🎧 DJing or Producing? 🧢 Flat brim or curved brim? 🎼 Old-school beats or modern production? 🎤 Underground hip-hop or mainstream success? 🧱 Legos or… nah, just Legos. 👉Watch this throwback episode, witness early DOD45 awkwardness, and hear a hip-hop producer drop gems about his journey. 💡🎶 🎨DJ Hoppa Taurus Prints Available Here: ArtByTai Print – DJ Hoppa 🔗More DJ Hoppa: 🎧DJ Hoppa Official Site 🖼️Become an ArtByTai Collector 🎵Theme Music by Nalei (from13) 📺This episode is a little clunky, a little rough, but ALL heart.#DOD45 #DJHoppa #HipHop #PodcastThrowback #SpotifyDidUsDirty 🚀🎤
