Huddle up! On this week's episode, we're joined by the talented Lowell producer DeevoDaGenius, and he made sure to bring plenty of friends with him! The "Dream Team", as they call themselves, is a collection of Massachusetts artists assembled by Deevo to bring us one of the hottest basketball-inspired albums out, "Champion Sound"!

The Dream Team came through to tell us how they came together to create this impressive body of work (12:30), the stories behind their studio sessions ("practice" as they like to refer to it)(17:45), and what the future holds for themselves as a collective while maintain their own individual careers (35:30). We also had great discussions surrounding how major labels and systemic racism has impacted the mainstream rap genre (48:00), the promising trajectory of the Boston music scene (1:07:15), and the impact of the pioneers and platforms that have laid the groundwork for us all!

As a listener, you're sure to leave this conversation feeling more inspired and a champion in your own right! Enjoy the episode!
