The Culture for Sale - Ep.122

On Episode 122 of the Set the Bar Mixshow,DJ Oplex is putting the industry on notice by examining exactly what a "culture vulture" is, why it's a strictly behavior-based title, and how our own consumer habits are funding the exploitation. We're putting the mirror up to external extractors who treat Hip-Hop like a transactional cash cow, while laying down the ultimate truth of the genre. To keep the vibe uncompromised, the soundtrack is packed with heavy rotation, featuring major new heat like Freddie Gibbs breaking boundaries from his deluxe You Only Die 1nce, Isaiah Rashad cutting deep on his latest drop IT'S BEEN AWFUL, and smooth R&B textures from Haley Smalls' fresh Matches (Deluxe). Hit play and tap into the culture. Lupe Fiasco, Nu Deco Ensemble, Jacomo Bairos & Sam Hyken – Hip Hop Saved My Life (Live from Miami Beach) (feat.
