On Halloween 2020, MF DOOM passed away. However, the public was not made aware of this until New Year's Eve of 2020. Since then, the music world has been mourning this incredibly sad news.
As a huge fan of the supervillain, I decided to say a few words about DOOM's immense impact on the genre, his best albums to check out for DOOM newcomers, as well as his impact on my life personally.
Rest in peace Daniel Dumile. You inspired an entire generation of music lovers and artists in ways one could only dream of. I hope you are proud of what you accomplished...
"Everything is going according to plan man."

The inaugural episode of The Rap Music Plug Podcast introduces you to your rap music plug, Rohan, and how this show focus on one thing and one thing only: rap music.
Furthermore, I discuss how I was able to travel back in time to record Episode 1 of this podcast on January 5, 2021... even though 25 episodes had released prior to that date.
The reality is that I took this podcast in a new direction in November 2020, roughly three months after this show first aired. Therefore, since Episode 1 is still getting many listens from new listeners of the show, I wanted to re-record Episode 1 to not mislead new listeners by referencing the old podcast's title of "QLC TV"... and its now out-of-date scope of covering other types of music, along with politics, personal development, and sports.
After this, I transition to podcast's first true topic, which is reviewing Bronx rapper MIKE’s new album weight of the world, and MIKE's overall influence on the current lo-fi/experimental hip-hop movement.
DISCLAIMER: I went Gary Vee style and didn’t let anything get in the way of starting this podcast. Therefore, I recorded the first 4 episodes of this show using my phone and a Beats mic. Therefore, since the first topic I cover was recorded back when this podcast first aired... the sound quality is not great. However, since then (Ep. 5 and onward), I use a new microphone, and have greatly refined my vocal presence on the mic, and the overall presentation of the show!
