Behind The Smoke

by Shawn Pen

BehindTheSmoke is a different type of Podcast. Unlike any other you’ve seen or listened to before because nothing’s off limits & the normal gaps that tend to separate entertainment from every day life, are all bridged on this platform. Created by long time Rapper, Songwriter, Author & Hip Hops best storyteller Shawn Pen, who has made a resurgence by way of short stories on Instagram(@BehindTheSmokex). Joined by two dynamic, young, energetic, well informed as well as amusing co-hosts (6”5 ELI/STARBUCK-DEE), these guys unpack all of the baggage that this world has had to offer us by way of The Culture. With Shawn providing a firsthand entertainment’s point of reference, 6”5 ELI expounding on everything from Hip Hop to Politics and Business, to Starbuck Dee bringing us all up to speed on the latest music releases, Hip Hop discrepancy’s and much, much more. There’s no way anyone won’t enjoy what this platform has to offer the Podcast community so sit back, relax and put your seatbelts on.
