In this episode of “This: That: and the Third” Ammbaataa talks with artist/producer Trackademicks of the Bay Area based Honor Roll crew. The 2 discuss Trackademicks introduction to music in general as well as the Hip Hop culture in the local scene. Trackademicks breaks down some of his earliest productions with his first big supporter Oakland MC Mistah F.A.B., and how having a different production approach worked in his favor. Oakland’s Youth Radio program once again makes its presence felt as Trackademicks recounts being involved with the program in its earlier days when it was located in Berkeley CA. After adopting Kanye’s mantra “5 beats a day for 3 summers”, Trackademicks created a foundation that would put him in positions to thrive as a producer in a very competitive space and creating a “Tell me when to Go” remix that would hold down the radio and the streets.

On this Episode of "This, That and The Third", Ammbaataa talks with the Homie and his first podcast guest ever in life, Seattle's own Jake One. Since the 1998 Conception Records “Walkman Rotation” Jake One has been on a slow and steady trajectory. A full fledge member of the G-Unit era sorority of producers: Hi-Tek, Needlz, Illmind, Focus, Buckwild, Red Spyda, DJ Khalil, Mr. Porter and last but definitely not least Nottz.    Multiple Grammy nods, classic cuts like the De La Soul MF Doom assisted “Rock Co. Kane Flow”, to the Dynamic Duo comprised of himself and Mayer Hawthorne (Tuxedo), to his single from J. Cole's latest full length release The Off Season  "My Life" (with 21 Savage and Morray).    I was introduced to Jake One's music via the Bay Area music Don Dada Ian Davis (Little Brother/Heiroglyphics). Ian Davis would give me Jake One beat CD’s that eventually became my families Sunday morning traveling music.  I wanted to talk specifically about J.Coles “My Life”, but a run down of some of Snare Jordan’s greatest hits became the mission.
