Episode 60 - I Was In Rikers! (ft. Chris The Capo)

Rhymes Like Dimes Podcast

It’s the 60th edition and its a special one! We switch it up to present an episode solely on that age old staple of hip-hop: battle rap. We’re joined by Rinse FM host Chris The Capo, host of the Battle on the Roof Podcast. We get into the history of battle rap and how it’s developed over the years (17:24), before discussing why it has never really caught on in the UK (33:49). We debate why it’s been difficult for battle rappers to crossover to become successful musicians (53:09), and we name five battles you need to watch if you’re a beginner (58:42).
